Empire
With EMPIRE Colley approaches the highest peak of his production. The narrative sense, the poetic language, the common breadth bestowed upon the essence of his art, are what make this album a fascinating work, and in which a wealth of nuances is fully performed.

"Tagging along on his rhythmical discourse is an exciting, never predictable journey, and definitely never a soulless one. Colley is engaging, propelling the action forward with a relentless sense of swing, and Empire is excellent." (source: BBC.co.uk, L.Bellini)
"This often subtle release deserves a quiet setting to be truly appreciated, it is easily one of Scott Colley's finest recordings." (source: AllMusic, K.Dryden)
Recorded in New York in June 2009 at Sear Sound Studio Recording and mixing engineer James Farber
