John Scofield w/ MMW - "A Go Go" (1998)



Some albums pull you right back to where you listened to them over and over. This one forever floats me to the basement of Townhouse 13 in Fairfield, CT. On A Go Go, four of the coolest cats in modern jazz get together for the first of two collaborative albums and the chemistry immediately sizzles. Jazz guitar master John Scofield teams with acid jam trio Medeski, Martin & Wood for a funky new take on retro jazz jive that's super cool and super styling. -- Chris Baginski

I remember getting a free copy of this in the lot of Nassau before the 2nd night of the Island Tour. I listened to it over and over again for a long time after that. Hasn't been in the rotation in a long time. I think its time it made it's way back in.
