Last week I was visiting a friend who called and said he had some records to sell me. He had a box of LPs that he wanted to get rid of and sold to me for a great price.
While chatting, I told him I was always on the lookout for odd 45s and he said he had some I could go through. I flipped through a small batch and brought a handful home.
Whenever I’m flipping through 45s, I always look for plain labels featuring artists I’ve never heard of. I quickly snatched up this 45 with that plain green label and simple black font by a band called the Dave Scott Trio.
I couldn’t find any information online about the Dave Scott Trio nor could I find any other releases by Cay-Scott on Discogs. My guess is that this was self released since Scott is included in both the label and artist name.
Side 1 finds the band covering Cole Porter’s Begin the Beguine. Nothing special jumped out to me about the performance but you can stream it below to judge for yourself.
Side 2 was more enjoyable with a track called Dave’s Boogie. This finds the band loosening up a bit with more electric guitar, some organ and a boogie woogie style piano throughout. Listen to a recording from the 45 below…
Judging by the amount of piano featured on each recording, I’m going to guess that Dave Scott is on piano. But I’d also love to know who is playing guitar on Dave’s Boogie!
An added bonus on this 45 is that Dave autographed the label on Side 2 with an inscription that seems to read “Red, Best Wishes, Dave Scott”.
What a fun discovery last Friday and I’m excited to post about it here on Forever Analog!
