Combo

Paris Combo has the schtick, and it's served them well. Attraction carries on with what's not really a formula, but an attitude – with a few subtle refinements, but the same elements that have brought them relative success. The title cut, happily bouncy, is a sophisticated summer afternoon by the Seine, while "Dans les Bras d'un Loup" is as seductive as midnight champagne in a Left Bank cabaret (and using the cello as a solo instrument is inspired, with its nighttime texture).

Iconic GRAMMY Award-winning guitarist John Scofield teams up with pianist Gerald Clayton, bassist Vicente Archer, and drummer Bill Stewart in Combo 66, a new band that builds upon Scofield’s long legacy of masterful improvisation and stylistic diversity. Scofield has been a major influence on jazz since the 1970’s, continuously finding new and exciting avenues to reinvent himself as an artist. Scofield won consecutive Best Jazz Album GRAMMY Awards for Past Present (2016) and Country For Old Men (2017)– for which he also won the GRAMMY Award for Best Instrumental solo. Now, joined by three formidable artists in their own rights, Scofield’s Combo 66 showcases an intricate interpretation of jazz’s limitless direction.
