Listen now!
Named for the Grateful Dead song that concludes this inspired double album, Uncle John’s Band features masterful guitarist John Scofield at his most freewheeling. Wide ranging repertoire finds his trio with Vicente Archer and Bill Stewart tackling material from Dylan’s “Mr Tambourine Man” to @Neil Young ’s “Old Man”, from Leonard Bernstein’s “Somewhere” to the Miles Davis Birth of the Cool classic “Budo”. And jazz standards including “Stairway to the Stars” and “Ray’s Idea” rub shoulders with seven Scofield originals that are variously swing, funk and folk-inflected. The red thread through the programme is the trio’s tremendous improvisational verve. “I feel like we can go anywhere,” says John Scofield of the group’s multi-directional versatility. Uncle John’s Band was recorded at Clubhouse Studio in Rhinebeck, New York, in August 2022.

Great to see that John still breathe and play music after all these years. He is one of the most relevant guitarrists of his generation. Still warm.
Boy, did NOT see this coming. Happy to see Scofield do the Dead and thrilled to see that he is still making music.
Looking good, John. 🙂👍
I love the new album! It's a great recording with lots of good tunes. This one, and Hudson are my recent favorites.
I followed the entire career of John and this record belongs to one of the best releases he ever did. Relaxed, souvereign, matured playing of the trio. Great stuff to listen to!
So happy to be going to the Toronto show with my nephew. I play some guitar, he likes the bass, but it's all about the music.
Go Sco!
What a man ! Love him
Thank you John. I couldn’t wait for the album to drop. Again- you effortlessly prove that you are number # 1. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great album! Bought it on iTunes yesterday!

Bill Stewart: Worshiped by true 'heads; overlooked by poseurs.
