NEW RELEASES : In Brief

*** Stephen Scott, “Something to Consider,” Verve Records.
While the 22-year-old modern mainstream pianist-composer--heard in solo, trio, quartet, quintet and sextet contexts--does not yet have his own voice either as soloist or composer, he’s on his way. The album includes eight Scott originals--the spritely “Steps, Paths and Journeys” and delicate “No More Misunderstandings” stand out. The soloists--Joe Henderson, Roy Hargrove and Craig Handy, among them--add bite.
New albums are rated on a scale of one star (poor) to four (excellent). A rating of five stars is reserved for classic reissues or retrospectives.
