“Those who aren’t afraid to funk will definitely want to go to A Go Go” JazzTimes
The Count’s pays homage to the incredible John Scofield album featuring a stellar cast of jazz and funk musicians.
Guitarist John Scofield’s 1997 album A Go Go is a modern classic, a sonic exploration of the line between deep funk grooves and jazz improvisation.
Scofield’s chemistry with the paradoxically tight and loose rhythm section Medeski Martin and Wood is palpable, and would be the first of many albums the quartet would make together. A Go Go is one of the only modern jazz albums to yield new standards that are still played at jam sessions to this day, including Hottentot, Chank, Green Tea and the title track.
“A Go Go is far more than four cool cats jamming together and enjoying each other’s company. It’s an immensely entertaining, enlightening ride.” AllMusic
