BEATS MAGAZINE

From her 2011 debut album, “Crossing Over”, to her #1 Billboard charting 2022 album, “SHINE!”, Innervision Records label recording artist Kim Scott has impressed audiences across the globe in performances and on the airwaves.

Known for her exceptional tone, intoxicating melodies, and flawless technique, she is one of the most sought-after flutists in both the classical and jazz fields. The contemporary jazz superstar has an ever-growing fan-base garnered from her continued presence on the performance scene and from her visibility as radio host of the nationally syndicated, two-hour jazz program, “Kim Scott’s Block Party Radio”, which airs weekly across the world.

She’s a fresh image and sound for today’s contemporary jazz scene.

With five albums and multiple Billboard #1 hits to her credit, Kim Scott has proven to be a mainstay in the field with an abundance of promise for the future as both a soloist and collaborator.

“One of Kim Scott’s greatest contributions to Smooth Jazz is, along with compatriots Althea Rene and Ragan Whiteside, helping bring the majestic, magical sounds of the flute back to the forefront. ”

Her collaborations include performances and recordings with Jonathan Butler, James Lloyd, Blake Aaron, Adam Hawley, Greg Manning, Ragan Whiteside, Althea Rene, Jonathan Fritzen, Jazmin Ghent and others.

“Artists like Kim Scott bring an exuberance to an art form long prophesied to be a thing of the past in short order by critics. When you listen to the Pied Piper-like allure and magic of her style, you come to the conclusion that those critics couldn’t be farther from the truth.”

— RONALD JACKSON, THE SMOOTH JAZZ RIDE

“But this gem will delight all those who have always considered the flute the most fascinating instrument and certainly convince those who could not imagine that the flute can be so expressive. ”
