“Scofield is one of the most prolific and admired jazz musicians of his generation” – NPR

Through his fifty-four-year career, three-time Grammy Award winner John Scofield has occasionally detoured from the traditions of straight-ahead jazz. There, he explores a blend of funk and jazz that has led to some of his most popular projects. In 2026, Scofield looks back at many of his now classic fusion groove compositions with Electrospective.
Not intending to replicate earlier fan favorites, he plans instead to revisit them with the seasoned perspective of several decades. Here, he culls tunes from his Blue Matter, Uberjam, and AGoGo bands, each responsible for a few recordings. Additionally, he will play new material in the same vein.
Moreover, Scofield looks forward to teaming up with a stellar band of colleagues. Electrospective will rely on interpretative input from Scofield alum and super funk drummer/producer Adam Deitch (Lettuce). Also, multidimensional Larry Goldings (Scary Goldings, James Taylor) on keyboards. Additionally, legendary bassist Oteil Burbridge (Dead & Co., Tedeschi Trucks, Allman Brothers). With this repertoire so frequently (and loudly) requested by audience members, Scofield is glad to have a band that will truly do the music justice.
Recommended for fans of Pat Metheny, Lettuce, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe and Medeski, Martin & Wood.
