Yonrico Scott Band - LATEST NEWS - JUNE 2009
Greetings,
This email newsletter is my effort to build a closer relationship with you and share a few personal tidbits about my lifestyle, etc. I hope you enjoy reading it and sharing it with others.
The Word
Those closest to me know I enjoy sharing words of inspiration throughout my day. So I thought for this newsletter I'd like to share the phrase, 'Turning the Corner.' There comes a time in everyone's life when they turn a corner -- it may be in age, in spirit, in enlightenment, in love... a change that changes you forever. And, as we turn a corner this way, I think it helps us realize who we are and what we're really about. And, I can share with you, my family, and friends, today I feel I'm turning a corner in my life and I'd like to turn this corner with you.
From the Road
Here I'd like to bring you closer to my life on the road. With the dTb, we recently returned from our 2009 European Tour. We started off in London. We had a few days off and I got a chance to walk the streets in London -- mix and mingle with the people, do some street shopping, eat traditional foods like fish 'n chips, and just hang out. Like New York, Chicago, LA, Atlanta... London is one of the largest metropolitan cities in the world, and you could do almost anything. But for me, I just wanted to get to know the people and culture. It was great. From London, we went to Sheffield after boarding the European version of our tour bus, a 40' Van Hool with trailer. We had a really great bus driver. As we embarked on our trip across Great Britian, I observed the beautiful countryside from the porthole in my bunk. The next stop was Manchester, and before the tour was done, we had travelled to five countries -- the UK, France, Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany. Everywhere we played the audiences were really receptive and great. But what topped the whole tour off was visiting the magical, romantic, beautiful, euphoric city of Paris, France (Alhambra, 4/30/2009).
What I'm Listening to...
I've been listening to Joni Mitchell here lately -- I love Joni Mitchell. The album, Hejira, from 1976, featuring Jaco Pastorius, is her best album. Also, John Coltrane, A Love Supreme (1965); Weather Report, Black Market (2002); Lala Hathaway, Outrun the Sky (2004); The Definitive Bud Powell (2002)...great piano player; and, Aretha Franklin, Amazing Grace (1972) with James Cleveland (my mother, Ruth, sang with James, a four-time Grammy winner). Also, Chick Corea, The Complete Is Sessions with Jack Dejohnette; Mike Stern, Who Let The Cats Out (2006); and last but not least, Tony Williams, Young At Heart (his last recorded CD). There's a lot more I could mention, so next time I write, I look forward to sharing more...

In the past couple of years, I have gone from turning on my home computer about once a week to toting a laptop around the world & using my cell phone for email and internet access 24/7. For Myspace & Facebook, I actively update the content myself -- even from the road. And I look forward to receiving your comments.
