Yesterday You Said Tomorrow
Yesterday You Said Tomorrow is a studio album by American jazz trumpeter Christian Scott. Concord Music Group released the album on February 1, 2010 in the UK and on March 30, 2010 in the US.
As Scott says in the album's liner notes, this album "was designed in subject matter and sound to have the brevity and character of the recordings of the '60s," inspired by the likes of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan. Yesterday You Said Tomorrow is a successful manifestation of the music concept that he calls "stretch music". The concept understands and respects the jazz traditions that came before and doesn't attempt to replace them, instead trying to embrace within its rhythmic and harmonic frameworks as many musical forms and cultural languages as possible. His later albums Christian aTunde Adjuah and Stretch Music will be thoughtful extensions of that model.
