Jill Scott "Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds vol.1", Hidden Beach, 2000

This is just my personal story on how I came about Jill Scott.

I recently heard in the podcast "The Official Twisted Funk Show", when Marc Mac, of 4 Hero, was talking to DJ Rumble about his work with Jill Scott. And that reminded me with my first encounter with Jill Scott a long time ago.

I first heard Jill Scott when she toured with Th Roots for "Things Fall Apart" tour in 1999, where she came in for Erykah Badu. Then, I began hearing her on GIlles Peterson "Worldwide" on BBC Radio1. I was going "Who is Jill Scott?", that people talked about. That was around the time when BBC Radio started Internet broadcast, not podcast, but real-time streaming. And being such an experimentalist, Gilles did live video streaming from, I think, Maida Vale studio. (This was like 1999, and considering it now, it was real forefront challenge in terms of technology and Internet.) And that night's guest was Jill Scott. It was really amazing show, I remember. with full band. She sang tracks from herf album

I personally saw her solo concert, this time I think some of The Roots played with her. She was, and still is, great singer and performer, with such charizma and vocal power on stage.

Oh, and one other thing. When this Album came out, I bought CD. "CD"! Such a history word.
