John Scofield’s Electrospective

About

For this exclusive week, guitar giant John Scofield revisits his hugely influential electric jazz songbook from his iconic career with an all-star quartet including organist Larry Goldings , bassist Oteil Burbridge , and drummer Adam Deitch . Though Scofield is recognized as one of jazz’s most creative guitarists of the past half century, the three-time GRAMMY Award winner has often branched off from the straight-ahead path to get his funk on. After five decades of prolific touring and recording, he’s looking back at many of his now classic fusion groove compositions with Electrospective . Sco being Sco, he’s not interested in replicating past triumphs. Rather, he plans to reimagine fan favorites from the bands with which he created 1987’s Blue Matter , 1997’s A GoGo , and 2002’s Überjam , as well as new material in the same vein. He’s bringing the same ensemble aesthetic to Electrospective , relying on interpretative input from long-time collaborators and new friends. Multidimensional keyboardist Larry Goldings and Überjam drummer Adam Deitch, who won a GRAMMY for his work with Lettuce, have toured and recorded extensively with Sco. Bass star Oteil Burbridge, revered for his work with Dead & Company, Tedeschi Trucks Band, and the Allman Brothers, brings a fresh set of frets to Scofield’s deepest grooves.
