John Scofield at Yoshi's

So we trekked over to Oakland to see John Scofield's Trio last night.

What were the sounds that man was able to get out of his instrument? Was he kidding? It was a fun evening, no doubt, but I still have trouble when they wander off on little musical forays far far away from the tune.

Still, the energy in the club for the last set was high and the trio responded, kicking out versions of standards (as my husband had to explain to me) of "Perdido."
