My review of John Scofield's Überjam Deux, today at All About Jazz.
It's been a decade since Scofield last recorded with his Überjam Band - at last call, rhythm guitarist/sampler Avi Bortnick, bassist Andy Hess and drummer Adam Deitch - but the guitarist and all his younger but now decade older partners have also changed, making Überjam Deux both more of the same (but more like the 2002 Überjam (Verve) than 2003's Up All Night (Verve) and something new. While there's plenty of the jamming that made this Sco's jam band, there's a stronger compositional focus, making it a better blend than the previous two recordings, good as they were.
Well worth hearing, review here.
