Dive into the vibrant world of jazz fusion with John Scofield's "Oh!", a studio album that brings together the electrifying talents of the super group ScoLoHoFo. Recorded live to two-track in July 2002 at Sear Sound, NYC, and released in January 2003 by Blue Note Records, this album is a testament to Scofield's mastery of the electric guitar and his ability to blend genres seamlessly.
"Oh!" features a stellar lineup including Joe Lovano on tenor sax, Dave Holland on bass, and Al Foster on drums. The album spans a diverse range of styles, from soulful jazz and funky blues to Latin-infused grooves and smoldering ballads. With tracks like "Right About Now" and "Oh I See," Scofield showcases his signature bluesy, mid-tempo themes that are as infectious as they are sophisticated.
The album's 11 tracks, clocking in at just over an hour and a half, offer a well-balanced program that highlights the individual strengths of each musician while creating a cohesive and dynamic listening experience. Whether you're a long-time fan of John Scofield or new to his music, "Oh!" is a must-listen that captures the essence of jazz fusion in all its glory.
