John Scofield — Uncle John’s Band (ECM)

It seems like all guitarists of a certain generation or inclination eventually spend some time on ECM’s roster. Recently, John Scofield has joined his peers Pat Metheny, Bill Frisell, and John Abercrombie as a stalwart of the label. Scofield is also something of an odd choice, given that he’s always played with an earthy, sometimes bluesy sensibility that one doesn’t often associate with the label. But that’s all just first impressions. What we’ve got here, on about 90 minutes of music, is a cracking trio (including longtime running mate, drummer Bill Stewart, and bassist Vicente Archer) playing a range of selections from Americana to originals to standards.

When “Mr. Tambourine Man” starts things out with a somewhat innocuous loop and some textural noodling, I was wondering if someone had slipped me a 1990s Frisell recording. But it settles quickly into tasty stuff that initially seems merely inoffensive, then slowly gets more exploratory. That continuum fairly well defines much the music here: cracking grooves, melodic flights, but also dark explorations and harmonic variety. It doesn’t reinvent any wheels but it’s a pretty damn pleasant Scofield trio date.

The brisk, nimble swing of “How Deep” or “TV Band” is very much in Scofield’s wheelhouse, a craggy melody alternating with deft chordal work riding on a stripped-down groove. These tunes, along with “The Girlfriend Cord” and “Mask,” could stand with any of his finest performances. The trio also turn in some find balladry (“Stairway to the Stars”) and some crunchy funk (“Mo Green”). But for me, it’s the date’s changeups that yield more memorable results, both winning and sometimes less so. The spaghetti-western vibe of “Back in Time” is a heap of fun, and the trio once again excels in making abstractions from basic melodic material. Ditto for the slightly country-fied “Somewhere.” But on the other hand, Neil Young’s “Old Man” fell almost completely flat to these ears.

Still, a couple of misfires can’t mar another fine entry from Sco.

Song Review(s): Phil Lesh & Friends - “Aiko Aiko,” “Cold Rain and Snow” and “China Cat Sunflower” -> “I Know You Rider” (Live, Oct. 14, 2022)

With seven Friends joining Phil Lesh on stage, things can be exuberant, sloppy or a bit of both.

Couch surfers got to hear all of these elements in “Aiko Aiko,” “Cold Rain and Snow” and “China Cat Sunflower” -> “I Know You Rider,” the gratis tracks from Lesh & Friends’ Oct. 14 gig/livestream in New York State.

Guitarists Eric Krasno, John Scofield and Grahame Lesh; keyboardist Ivan Neville; Karl Denson on sax, flute and percussion; drummer Alex Koford; and harpist Mikaela Davis were Lesh’s band this time out. Davis was mostly inaudible until the octet dissolved into a “Space” segment between “China” and “Rider,” but there was still an abundance of cooks.

Neville sung “Aiko” and while the groove was deep, there was some toe-stepping where solos belonged. Denson shined on flute and intruded on tambourine.

The namesake bassist took the mic for “Cold Rain and Snow,” a ramshackle version with vocal flubs and traffic jams on stage.

“China Cat” fared better, with Koford on lead vocals and the players having found their spots. The segue was going in interesting directions before it morphed to “Space” and cracked into “Rider.”

The latter had rough harmony singing and relatively smooth playing.

Lesh, 82, has eight more shows with a revolving cast of players scheduled at the Capitol Theatre through Oct. 31. And that’s the most-important thing here.
