John Scofield featuring Mulgrew Miller, Ben Street, Kendrick Scot

(Jazz Alley) When you talk about current jazz-guitar greats, you must include John Scofield in the conversation. Played with Miles Davis? Check. Played with Charles Mingus? Check. Played with Chet Baker? Check. Stylistically, Scofield runs on a well-oiled improv brain and tends to teeter into funk-flavored jazz. His notes spread cobwebs into the post-bop, blues-hued sky. With three dozen albums to his name, he has earned the title of master, but Scofield doesn't just sit back and regurgitate his history. He's inventive and not afraid to take chances. This show will be bright; come see Scofield swing. TRENT MOORMAN

And there's always more in our complete music calendar listings.
