JOHN SCOFIELD QUARTET

John Scofield delves into yet another conceptual territory, bringing his lifelong love of American Country music out of his toolbox to share with his jazz audiences with Country For Old Men. On this new album, Scofield interprets classic country melodies, performing with several of his closest musical associates from the jazz community — Steve Swallow, Bill Stewart and Larry Goldings.
