...Demo versions of album highlight “Sofa King” featured a soulful organ groove, replaced on the album by a denser and more exciting soundscape of shimmering violins and flutes, over classic breakbeats and superlow bass...

This past Thursday and Friday, John Scofield (guitar/mastermind), John Benitez (bass), Steve Hass (drums), Gary Versace (keys/Hammond) and Meyer Statham (vocals/trombone) played four shows at the Charles Hotel’s renowned Regattabar jazz club. The shows were part of a 17-date tour in support of Scofield’s latest album, entitled “That’s What...
