John Scofield Band
"Up All Night"
|
New tunes, new tones, new textures, colors and rhythms-all of these mark "Up All Night" as another bold direction for guitarist John Scofield. What unites this adventurous new project with everything the guitarist has ever done is its reliance on Sco's improvisational mastery. "I'm always just trying to play and have it feel good," the guitarist says. "There are more similarities between playing this band and with my jazz trio with Bill Stewart and Steve Swallow than there are differences. With this band, I get into electronica in a different way, but otherwise, I'm just trying to be spontaneous, which I do in any situation." The album's 11 tracks - ten new original compositions and a classic Philly Soul cover ("Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get") - blend sophisticated improvisation, sonic adventure, and classic funk and soul sounds into music that's both timely and timeless.
