Biography
Stephen Scott (b. March 13, 1969), a jazz pianist, and Stephen Scott (b. Corvallis, Oregon, 1944), an American composer.
Stephen Scott (b. March 13, 1969). One of the new breed of “neo-classic” artists that have emerged on the jazz scene in recent years. He started piano at the age of five, and progressed rapidly to the point where he was taking private lessons at Juilliard at 12. Although grounded in classical music, Scott was also exposed to reggae and salsa on the radio, but wasn’t introduced to jazz until his high school years (he gives saxophonist Justin Robinson the credit for that). By the age of 18, Scott was playing in the band of singer/talent scout Betty Carter, and soon began performing or recording with the likes of the Harper Brothers, Wynton Marsalis, Bobby Watson, and Bobby Hutcherson. Beginning in 1991, Scott turned out a steady supply of mainstream albums for Verve, using mixtures of fellow young lions and esteemed veterans like Joe Henderson, Ron Carter, and Elvin Jones as sidemen; and he also played on Henderson’s 1991 commercial breakthrough, Lush Life.
Stephen Scott (b. Corvallis, Oregon, 1944) is an American composer best known for his development of the bowed piano, which involves a grand piano being played by an ensemble of ten musicians who utilize lengths of horsehair to bow the strings of the piano, creating an orchestra-like sound. Scott founded the Bowed Piano Ensemble in 1977, for which he composes. His work is associated with the minimal style of composition.

Same goes for "Paisajes Audibles".

I feel like "The Deep Spaces" would be better instrumental.

I recently heard his 'Rainbows' tracks in a documentary (about Mao) :p His 'bowed piano' concept is weird, but interesting. Its sound has a sort of "metalic" quality.

The jazz piano dude is good, but forget about him. The other (bowed piano) Stephen Scott is an underrated genius.
