John Scofield: Country for Old Men Friday, September 23 at 7:30 p.m.
John Scofield 73 brings his lifelong love of American country music out of his toolbox in his Country for Old Men project, performing with several of his closest jazz associates: Steve Swallow, Bill Stewart, and Larry Goldings. We're going to turn outlaw' country tunes into jazz vehicles, said Scofield. We improvise while keeping the integrity, character, and twang of this wonderful American music. Scofield and company will sculpt jazz renditions of classic tunes by George Jones, Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Bob Wills, Patti Page, and Shania Twain, to name a few.
Admission: $30 / $34 / $39
