Constitution Hall, Washington D.C (08/25/2001-08/26/2001); Dollis Hill Studio, London, England (08/25/2001-08/26/2001). | | Arrangers: Marc Mac; Brad Somatik. | | One of the brightest stars to emerge from the Philadelphia nu-soul scene that spawned Erykah Badu, The Roots and Bilal is poet/vocalist Jill Scott. Riding the momentum of her 2000 debut WHO IS JILL SCOTT?, this Pennsylvannia native's sophomore bow is EXPERIENCE: JILL SCOTT 826, a 2-CD outing of live performances and a handful of studio cuts. Backed by her fabulous 9-piece Fatback Taffy, Scott casts aside the more mannered versions of much-loved songs like "Slowly Surely" and "Getting' In The Way" and infuses them with breathy arrangements that unwind over unstoppable grooves and shimmering nuances. | | Affable and loquacious, Scott's down-home on-stage patter is as engaging as her music. When she's not playfully dogging her image as a positive goody-two shoes within the intro to "It's Love," she's discussing pointed observations of a scantily clad teen at a bus stop leading into the sinewy 11-minute mix of sensuality and exploitation that defines "Thickness." New studio cuts like the ultra-funky "Gimme" and her lo-fi hip-hop Common duet "High Post Brotha" are equally potent and show Ms. Scott is only getting started down the road to a legendary music career. | | What you think of Jill Scott's second album, Experience: Jill Scott 826, is going to depend on how you define the two-hour, double-disc set. Is it, as its title suggests, a live album (recorded mostly on August 26, 2001, in Washington, D.C., hence the "826") plus a bonus disc containing some new studio tracks? Or is it a new studio album with a live disc tacked on? There aren't many artists who can justify the release of a live album after releasing only one studio album, especially when the live album consists almost entirely of material from that one album. The draw here, however, is Scott herself. A performing poet-turned-singer, she clearly knows how to please an audience, and the Washingtonians seem primed, frequently singing along to her songs without prompting and cheering many aspects of the show that can't be appreciated on a mere audio recording of it. If Scott's debut disc found her still in transition from the spoken word to the sung song, she has long since made that shift, and the album is full of vocal pyrotechnics, though, as she herself acknowledges, she talks a lot, even coming off like a standup comic in her defense of her song "Gettin' in the Way." The conceptual unity that tied these songs together on Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds, Vol. 1 is missing here, but there's no denying Scott's effectiveness as a performer. The "" disc, however, sounds like a collection of demos for her next album rather than a stand-alone document, even before the extended hidden tracks at the end present alternate versions. (Don't believe the one-minute-and-48-second time listed for the last track; it really runs over 16 minutes.) So, let's call this a satisfying live album with some bonus tracks, a good seasonal stocking-stuffer. [Experience: Jill Scott 826 was also released in a "clean" edition, containing no profanities or vulgarities.] ~ William Ruhlmann |
