John Scofield & the Piety Street Band

It's not every concert you attend where you suddenly realize "hey that's Bonnie Raitt sitting down there a few rows in front of us." What artist could draw a legend like that to sit in the audience? We were fortunate to be able to see legendary jazz guitarist John Scofield last week with a crack ensemble of master musicians from New Orleans billing themselves as the Piety Street Band. With the amazing Jon Cleary on keyboards and vocals, George Porter Jr. on bass and vocals and Ricky Fataar on drums, we knew we were in for a treat. Their arrangements of a set of classic gospel tunes rocked the house. Fortunately, the set is available on their new album Piety Street. Definitely worth a listen!
