Sco couldn't have put together a better combination of musicians for this date. If you like Meant To Be, you must have this album. The musical exchange between Lovano and Stewart is magical throughout, but particularly on the tounge-in-cheek Camp-out. Sco's ballad Easy For You is one of the prettiest things I've ever heard. This album has everything a Scofield fan or a Lovano fan could want.

My first introduction to the man Scofield. Very well done, while yet very accessible (something I usually don't find in this genre of music).

Strong outing on all fronts (performance, recording, composition), it's all good here. Do yourself a favor and get this CD while you still can!

Man, they are killin on this CD...forget, Lovano and Sco sound amazing together and what can I say about Bill Stewart. This is one of my favorite Bill Stewart.

This is yet another very pleasant collaboration between John Scofield and tenor sax player Joe Lovano. The quartet is completed by Dennis Irwin on bass and long-time Scofield collaborator, Bill Stewart on drums. The other JSQ CD I have, featured Marc Johnson on bass but if you have that then you'll have a good idea what this album is all about. It's also very similar in vibe to 2002's ScoHoLoFo project "Oh!" - the other CD I have where Scofield and Lovano worked together, on this occasion with Dave Holland and Al Foster.

All songs are, of course, written and produced by Scofield. The man's nothing short of a genius.

This has some great guitar playing but its a little busy and not enough riffs for my taste. My favorite track is the opening one, "Little Walk", because it has an urban bluesy feel and is more structured than the rest of the album. Some great sax playing by Joe Lovano is a nice plus.
