John Scofield, at the same time, followed MMW’s lead, even recording an album, Uberjam, that placed him well beyond his jazz roots. In the last nine years, MMW has become a major jam-band draw, packing rock clubs and drawing cheers from younger and younger crowds that don’t know that keyboardist John Medeski often records with John Zorn and other “downtown” jazz cats, or that Billy Martin’s recent disc with his band Socket contains 40 minutes of screech and clatter. As a result, Out Louder sounds less like jazz (and less like Scofield’s traditional self) than it does like the modern groove music that both participants would move toward after A Go Go. Fully half of the tunes are credited to all four musicians - and you know what that means: this disc was largely created in the studio with jams leading to tunes, organically. Scofield is no longer out front, but blended into the group. The new record, which labels the band as one of co-equals, is honest. (At Washington, DC’s 9:30 Club in mid-November, they played two long sets, covering most of both albums along the way no one left dissatisfied).
Particularly because Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood are now roaming the nation, playing to packed houses, making the groove live. Out Louder is no A Go Go, but it will do. Now, almost a decade later, the quartet is back on the road, and has fresh wax from the studio, while trying to capture lightening a second time out. In a modest, tossed-off way, A Go Go was the best jazz record of the ’90s to crossover to non-jazz listeners. It could have been just another major label “concept album”, except that A Go Go was a stone brilliant record - a perfect setting of ear-snagging themes in a loose and funky groove. Scofield had played plenty of funk rhythms before, including some loosey-goose N’awlins funk (on his Gramavision disc Out There) that is favored by MMW. A Go Go was Scofield’s second Verve disc after a brilliant run with Blue Note, and the label paired him with the rising stars Medeski Martin & Wood, an organ trio that was just starting to capture the imagination of the jam band crowd that followed the Grateful Dead and Phish. Given that the jazz guitarist had previously played and recorded with Miles Davis and was signed to one of the few jazz major labels (Verve), he hardly needed his “big break”.
