John Scofield's Combo 73

Aside from being one of the principal innovators of modern jazz guitar, John Scofield is a rare creative artist. He is a stylistic chameleon who has forged a consistent, rock-solid aesthetic identity. Looking to commemorate his seventy-third year, Scofield has penned a collection of new compositions. Also, he reformed his swinging group, formerly Combo 66, to tour the music.
Rising star Gerald Clayton is an obvious choice on piano, an instrument central to the tunes. The connection between Scofield and drummer Bill Stewart strengthens as the decades pass. It was Stewart who introduced bassist Vicente Archer to the project eight years ago. Scofield is thrilled with the group and in addition to the musical combustion, especially enjoys the inter-generational quality. Here, seventies, fifties and forties are represented! Scofield will close 2025 with this band on tour.
Scofield is a triple Grammy award winning artist with fan bases in many camps and over fifty recordings as leader. Here, he has expressed himself in the vernacular of bebop, blues, jazz-funk, organ jazz, acoustic chamber jazz, electronically tinged groove music, jam band style and orchestral ensembles with ease and enthusiasm. Also, he has earned multiple Grammy nominations and is an Officier dans L’Ordre des Arts and Lettres by France. Moreover, Scofield tours the world approximately 200 days per year with his own groups. He has shared stages and studios with Miles Davis, Tony Williams, Jim Hall, Ron Carter, and Herbie Hancock. Also, Joe Henderson, Dave Holland, Charlie Haden, Pat Metheny, Jack DeJohnette, Joe Lovano, Brad Mehldau, Eddie Harris, and John Mayer. Furthermore, Phil Lesh, Aaron Neville, Mavis Staples and Medeski, Martin & Wood among many music legends.
