Scofield approaches classic country melodies, performing with several of his closest musical associates from the jazz community: Steve Swallow, Bill Stewart, and Larry Goldings.
In Scofield’s words, “We’re going to turn ‘outlaw’ country tunes into jazz vehicles.
Rather than go to Nashville and record with ‘real’ country players in a country style, I’m joining forces with my jazz cronies to play the songs with our jazz approach.
We improvise while keeping the integrity, character, and twang of this wonderful American music.
I’ve always loved country music and am super-excited to put my treatment of them into play.” Sco and company will sculpt jazz renditions of classic tunes by George Jones, Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Bob Wills, Patti Page, and even Shania Twain to name a few.
