A rising star on drums, Texan Kendrick Scott (b. 1980) has been immersed in music since childhood. In the mid-2000s, the graduate of Boston's Berklee College (2003) quickly made a name for himself in the jazz galaxy, playing for The Jazz Crusaders, Pat Metheny, Kenny Garrett, Joe Lovano, Dianne Reeves, Lizz Wright and Terence Blanchard, as well as officiating in the Berklee-Monterey Quartet. In 2006, his band Kendrick Scott Oracle released its first album, The Source, featuring a host of musicians and singer Gretchen Parlato. After The Reverence interlude in 2010, the "playboy of the drums" returned as a group for the album of original compositions Conviction (2013), followed two years later by We Are the Drum, with the participation of Lizz Wright.
