Modern jazz guitarist John Scofield has played alongside greats of the genre including Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, and Billy Cobham, bending his strings to a diverse range of styles with flexibility and technical flair. On Piety Street, however, Scofield turns his attention to a parallel 20th Century American popular music form the blues.
This ain't the blues as played by blind pan-handlers or railroad hoppers, though: rather, these 13 tracks see a suite of gospel standards, traditionals and Scofield originals played in a clean, full-band jazz style featuring the personnel of pianist Jon Cleary, former Meters bassist George Porter Jr, drummer Ricky Fataar, vocalist John Boutt and Shannon Powell on percussion. It's a tight but tasteful set, one reverential to the religious spirit of the originals, if not always reverential to the form: the God-fearing message of Thomas A Dorsey's Never Turn Back gets a funky itch in its step, all scratchy guitar and trilling organ, while old folk standard Motherless Child shifts intuitively from jazzy swing into a reggae step in its closing minutes. - bbc.co.uk FlameUpload
