Guitarist, band leader, and composer John Scofield returns with ‘Combo 66’ with a new quartet and fresh compositions celebrating Scofield’s 66th birthday. The group featuress Vincente Archer of Robert Glasper’s Trio and organist/pianist Gerald Clayton, son of bassist John Clayton of the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra. The energetic ‘Can’t Dance’ rides along apace, ‘Combo Theme’ has a soundtrack quality while ‘Willa Jean’ was titled for Scofield’s granddaughter. The bluesy ‘Uncle Southern’ is a laid back piece while ‘New Waltzo’ sees the guitar and organ really cooking. Also check the smoky ‘I’m Sleeping In’ for some slower, more ponderous touches.
