Alistair Scott, a Manchester-born pianist now based in London, leads the Al Scott Trio alongside double bassist Henry Gilbert and drummer Marco Quarantotto. Influenced by jazz luminaries such as Bill Evans, Miles Davis, and Herbie Hancock, Scott's music blends lyrical sensitivity with groove-based elements. The trio's debut album, "Introducing The Al Scott Trio," released in November 2011, showcases their dynamic interplay and Scott's original compositions. Beyond jazz, Scott's diverse musical background includes session work across various genres and performances alongside DJs in the dance music scene.
