Description

John Scofield is one of the most important of current jazz guitarists who amongst other things has played on several Miles Davis albums (the 1985 You're Under Arrest being the best of them). He also produced a number of first-rate Blue Note records in the early 1990s. His style is that of a jazz musician brought up with rock, blues and funk and he incorporates all these, whilst adding a unique Sco slant on them. A Go Go has him teamed up with young American hip funk meisters Billy Martin (drums), John Medeski (organ) and Chris Wood (bass). Together with the old pro they show how musicians whomore… can really play can get onto the groove. Fusing retro and hip hop the quartet produce one of the most enjoyable of jazz albums from the latter half of the 1990s and in one go sweep aside the numerous acid-jazz-by-numbers groups who try to play funk but never get anywhere near as good as this. Scofield fans will expect this quality, but there will be many who are not familiar with him and see just a man looking like a session musician for Genesis but don't be put off: This man has soul. --Phil Brett
