Scales’ eclectic performance was thrilling. This was the first time When Steel Talks had caught a live performance of Mr. Scales and his company of serious musicians known collectively as the Jonathan Scales Fourchestra. We were not disappointed. This cat can play, and his band can perform. Scales has the control and touch of a Robert Greenidge but the controlled, edgy abandonment and creativity of a Len “Boogsie” Sharpe. If everyone else is performing Algebra - Jonathan Scales is performing complex math, Calculus - partial differential equations. We are not talking space cadet stuff. We are talking about a Thelonious Monk-like attitude with a Mozart creativity that works.
