2013 will reunite modern jazz guitar master John Scofield with his legendary
“Überjam” band both on the road and in the studio. This group pioneered
Scofield’s fusing of jazz, funk and electronic music to become one of the
defining bands of his career. The original Überjam record was released in
2002 with Up All Night the following year – recordings that documented
Scofield’s fruitful collaboration with guitarist/computer manipulator Avi
Bortnick, drummer Adam Deitch and bassist Andy Hess. The group will be
joined in the studio this winter by drummers Louis Cato and Adam Deitch for
a release due out in May on Emarcy/Universal, before hitting the road for
the remainder of 2013.
