Experimental data have shown that far from the valley of stability new magic numbers can emerge and the traditional ones can disappear. In particular, two new magic numbers at N=32 and N=34 have been suggested in the vicinity of Z=20 based on spectroscopy and mass measurements. The N=34 sub-shell closure is observed in Ca and Ar isotopes, but vanishes in the Ti isotopes. To get a complete picture of the shell evolution in this region, it is also necessary to study the neighbouring Sc isotopes with only one valence proton above Z=20 and determine their structural evolution towards the possible harmonic oscillator magic number N=40 . Investigation of exotic nuclei in this region was the goal of the third SEASTAR (Shell Evolution And Search for Two-plus energies At RIBF) campaign at RIKEN-RIBF. Neutron-rich isotopes in the vicinity of 53K were produced by fragmentation of a primary 70Zn beam on a 9Be target. The γ rays of 55Sc isotope were observed and γ rays from 57,59Sc were identified for the first time. Observed γ spectra from 55,57,59Sc will be presented together with preliminary level schemes. They will be discussed in the framework of the tensor force driven shell evolution.
