Description
JOHN SCOFIELD - GUITAR
VICENTE ARCHER - BASS
JON COWHERD - PIANO
JOSH DION - DRUMS
My newest project is affectionately being called Yankee Go Home - which for me is a play on we "Yankees" taking up the music of our homeland. This band plays Roots-Rock-Jazz which is one way to define it though if I'm honest, I hate to do that! The concept is to cover Americana/Rock hits and Jazzed out folk songs plus some of my originals written in that vein. I'm reconnecting with a lot of my teenaged Rock n Roll roots - naturally colored by my 50 years of Jazz practices.
The band is Jon Cowerd (keyboardist with Brian Blade Fellowship and Cassandra Wilson among others,) Vicente Archer (string bass with Robert Glasper, Louis Hayes and Scofield Combo 66 etc.) exciting drummer Josh Dion and me - guitarist John Scofield.
These guys are remarkably versatile, just as good as it gets when it comes to interactive, creative playing. We're exploring rock, funk, country, jazz and free music and having a fantastic time doing it. I’m excited about this collaboration. To give you an idea of where we are headed, among the songs we have been playing:
Old Man (Neil Young)
Wichita Lineman (Jimmy Webb)
The Creator Has A Master Plan (Pharoah Saunders)
Uncle John's Band (Grateful Dead)
Jesus Children (Stevie Wonder)
Somewhere (Leonard Bernstein)
Not Fade Away (Buddy Holly)
John Hardy ( traditional)
Fields of Gold (Sting)
The Grand Tour (George Jones)
Only Love Can Break Your Heart (Neil Young)
Estimated Prophet (Grateful Dead)
Plus new Scofield Originals !!!

There has been a John Scofield Trio at play since the late 70’s and it undisputedly remains his favorite format. The newest incarnation – Scofield on guitar, bassist Vicente Archer and drummer Bill Stewart are having fun. They sail through tightly knit sets that typify the musical diversity that has colored Scofield’s long career: time honored jazz standards, rock and blues classics, savvy original Scofield compositions and whatever assorted off-the-cuff improvisations that turn up on a whim. More than just a collection of tunes, they play music that embodies the spirit that has kept improvisational jazz vigorous and visceral since its start.
Named for the Grateful Dead song that concludes Scofield’s inspired double album, Uncle John’s Band features masterful guitarist John Scofield at his most freewheeling. Scofield says, “All in all it’s a mixed bag of tunes but we treat them equally as vehicles for improvisation - not just covering the songs. It’s challenging. You don’t rely on arrangements as much as the intuitive way we play together. You rely on good playing knowing that there’s no safety net involved. We're three musicians with a special synergy that unfolds between us. I think Trio is always some of my best playing. We hook up as a group and it brings us to satisfying places."
