Jazz phenom and New Orleans native Christian Scott released his newest album, Rebel Ruler, today via Ropeadope. Recorded at the Crescent City’s own Parlor Recording Studios, the effort marks the first entry in his “Centennial Trilogy,” a series of albums honoring 100 years since the first jazz recordings. According to the New York Times, the trilogy will highlight how little has changed in the past century.

“A lot of what was going on when those guys were making those documents, it’s happening right here right now,” he told the publication in reference to the 1917 recordings by the Original Dixieland Jass Band. “If you’re honest, it’s very hard to differentiate between what was going on then socially, and what’s going on now socially.”

Scott also put out a new song from Rebel Ruler earlier this week, though the whole album can now be streamed via Spotify. Titled “The Coronation of X aTunde Adjuah,” the track finds Scott collaborating with Elena Pinderhughes (flute), Kris Funn (bass), Cliff Hines (guitar), Corey Fonville (drums), Weedie Braimah (percussion) and Chief Shaka Shaka (percussion).

Scott’s ambitious “Centennial Trilogy” comes nearly two years after the release of his acclaimed 2015 album Stretch Music, which OffBeat declared “challenges the mainstream and hard-boppers with electronics, a large ensemble rather than a combo and music that is often somewhat ethereal.”
