Went to see John Scofield and the Piety Street Band last night at the Handlebar in Greenville, SC. Great show. I was surprised.

This is my idea of the perfect combination of funk and jazz: keeping the beat and accompanying chords funk-simple, and his guitar solos with just the right am...

Speaking of Wes Montgomery (I was earlier today) ...NPR's blog on the song of the day, ("I'll Fly Away" performed by John Scofield,) mentions Montgomery. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=104014327&sc=nl&cc=sod-20090511

Not sure if I would call this pure funky...more like jazz funk. But I had to dig this one up...Scofield and MMW with A Go Go. They dropped some heavy grooves, but I like this song probably the best. It's relaxing and chill kind of like the title...jeep on 35...
