John Scofield (guitar); Avi Bortnick (rhythm guitar & samplers); Andy Hess (bass); Terence Higgins (drums)
Exploring different forms of groove music with one of the best guitar player in the world
John Scofield è uno dei chitarristi, assieme a Pat Metheny e Bill Frisell (the “big three”), più significativi degli ultimi venti anni. La sua musica, caratterizzata da un suono molto personale si muove generalmente tra quello che viene definito post bop, e il soul jazz. Del progetto Uberjam Band Scofield dice: “The music on überjam deux is one of the styles I feel most comfortable with. I started with jazz-rock 40 years ago and the great thing about this music is that it’s still evolving. I’ve been interested in combining jazz with other rhythmic forms since I became involved in music. I was spurred on in this direction by my collaboration with Miles Davis among others. I’m from the fusion generation! If I were to tag a “concept” for the band, it would be exploring different forms of groove music. We get into funk, afro beat, reggae, house music, R’n’B… and a lot of what’s in between…”.
