WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

scofield, medeski, martin, wood

Posted over 3 years ago
jazz guitarist John Scofield teamed with Medeski, Martin and Wood.this is a freakin' great album.after 20 seconds of the first track, youwill be groovin',from allmusic.com:...The album's charm is in its "city meets the tropics" feel. The four players create such a warm, vibrant sound that resisting the urge to tap one's feet along with the beat becomes a near impossibility......There's nary a moment of filler to be found across the ten tracks. It's clear that Scofield enjoyed the collaboration, as his guitars seem to nearly speak joy. His alternately jangling and plucking style sees him weaving in and out of the young trio's sound net with ample confidence. As fun as A Go Go is, it's just as well-sequenced, as Scofield and company vary their pace and tone expertly throughout the album's running time. A Go Go is far more than four cool cats jamming together and enjoying each other's company. It's an immensely entertaining, enlightening ride...

  1. shagg says Can't get enough of this album, either. It's a great marriage, Sco's herky-jerky guitar and MMW's steady groove. Have you heard Sco's album with Pat Metheny, "I Can See Your House from Here"? Very different styles, very cool result. Check out "The Red One" for a taste.
