Combo 66 sees Scofield in the company of his longtime drummer, Bill Stewart, and two new collaborators, pianist/organist Gerald Clayton and bassist Vicente Archer.

Scofield keeps the fire burning, commemorating his 66th year with a provocative blend of great new music that spans post-bop, rock, swinging blues, soul-jazz, and funk. Combo 66 offers melodies that could be from the classic jazz era of the 1950s, but with a subtle flair and Scofield’s own very unique stylings.
