As John Scofield’s career has evolved, he has turned into almost as much of a musicologist as a musician. The transformation has occurred, however, without slighting the latter most and significant role: “Sco” remains one of contemporary jazz’s most distinctive guitar players.
His instantly recognizable style—staccato yet fluid as he integrates the touch and tone of both blues and jazz—appears on his own recordings and on stage with his own aggregations, but also in somewhat unlikely company. John Scofield is nothing if not open-minded, so it’s no more of a surprise to hear him playing with Phil Lesh and Friends than the visionaries of nouveau jazz Medeski Martin and Wood or as part of a trio with Steve Swallow and Jack DeJohnette.
These collaborations intermingle with original projects such as the 2005 tribute to Ray Charles, That’s What I Say; Scofield’s adventure into composition and arrangement This Meets That and now his New Orleans- based expedition into the realm of blues and gospel Piety Street.
In introducing this all new group for 2009, John forges a connection from jazz to blues to gospel.
"I'm just shifting the balances for this one," he says. "I've always wanted to record and tour a blues project…that's where I started as a guitarist and I'm feeling that music more than ever of late.
"I'm just shifting the balance for this one and I am really excited to be making music with Jon Cleary (Bonnie Raitt), the legendary George Porter, Jr. (The Meters) and Ricky Fataar (Bonnie Raitt, Beach Boys)."
"Inspired by the songs of Thomas A. Dorsey and Mahalia Jackson, we've got all the swing and blues needed to finally make a REAL jazz/funk fusion project. This is a notion that's been gelling in my mind for decades. I launched a personal search for musical inspiration beyond the standard 12 bar blues, looking for other chord progressions. I found them in "old time gospel" music - the closest relative to and inspiration for the R&B that we all know and love. It's really powerful stuff."
