A Go Go Revisited

  • 303 303 High Street Northcote, VIC, 3070 Australia (map)

Guitarist John Scofield's 1997 album A Go Go is a modern classic. His chemistry with the paradoxically tight-and-loose rhythm section Medeski Martin and Wood is palpable, and would be the first of many albums the quartet would make together. A Go Go is one of the only modern jazz albums to yield new standards that are still played at jam sessions to this day -- including Hottentot, Chank, Green Tea, and the title track.

Four of Melbourne's funkiest musical talents pay homage to this incredible sonic exploration of the line between deep funk grooves and jazz improvisation.

Andy McGarvie - guitar
Adam Rudegeair - keys
Owen Downie - bass
Gareth Bowen - drums

"A Go Go is far more than four cool cats jamming together and enjoying each other's company. It's an immensely entertaining, enlightening ride." - AllMusic

"Those who aren't afraid to funk will definitely want to go to A Go Go" - JazzTimes
