Review

Entertainment Weekly (1/26/01, p.103) - "...Harkens back to jazzier roots....a righteously nice, empathetic outing."
Q (4/01, pp.109-10) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...It's the 'straightest' jazz album he's made in a very long time....reaffirming his position as one of the genre's finest composers."
Down Beat (3/01, p.61) - 3.5 out of 5 - "...Something rather special....a strong simple date, with no frills and lots of orchestrated playing....There's personality to each piece, but a success hangs on the playing, the invention, not the hip idea..."

Title Note

Personnel: John Scofield (guitar); Kenny Garrett (alto saxophone); Brad Mehldau (piano); Christian McBride (bass); Billy Higgins (drums).

Recored at Avatar Studios, New York, New York from January 6-8, 2000. Includes liner notes by John Scofield.

John Scofield describes the ensemble on WORKS FOR ME, made up of young jazz stars like alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett, pianist Brad Mehldau, and bassist Christian McBride, as his "one-time-only dream band." Anchoring it all, moreover, is the grand elder statesman Billy Higgins on drums. In honor of this talented company, or maybe because of it, Scofield returns to the straight-ahead swing style (albeit with a few trademark funky episodes), that he has periodically pursued throughout his career.

What works about WORKS is the expert meshing of the quintet, a combination of the talents of Scofield and his younger sidemen and Higgins's lush, unifying swing. The music is fresh and vibrant; each piece, be it ballad, bop, or blues, bristles with energy. Choice cuts include the crackling "Not You Again," the darker ballad "Love You Long Time," and the fittingly titled "Do I Crazy?"
