“When I first got into jazz — around 1969, I came from playing R&B and Soul in High School. Jazz Rock was in its infancy stage and I was lucky enough to be around to experience the Golden Age of both Rock and Soul and see Jazz embrace that movement while I was trying to learn how to play straight ahead Jazz. In 1982, I joined the Miles Davis Band, answering the call of funky jazz once again. My stint with Miles made me sure that there really was a kind of music that was both funky and improvised at the same time.”
John Scofield

A Go Go has him teamed up with young American hip funk meisters Billy Martin (drums), John Medeski (organ) and Chris Wood (bass). Together with the old pro they show how musicians who can really play can get onto the groove. Fusing retro and hip hop the quartet produce one of the most enjoyable of jazz albums from the latter half of the 1990s and in one go sweep aside the numerous acid-jazz-by-numbers groups who try to play funk but never get anywhere near as good as this.
