Toss Panos with Scofield?

[Derek DeFields]

Heard a rumor that Toss will be playing (at least) a week long gig with Scofield on the right coast soon. I'm pretty excited by this idea as Sco has such a gritty sound that I'm hoping this will be pretty incredible. Hopefully we'll get details soon!

[Steve Holmes]

Yeah this combo has potential to be pretty sick. I just saw Toss a week ago, his groove was as funky and as sloppy as ever. Can't wait to see what happens!

[Kurtis]

Wonder if it will be fusion or jazz. Hope they play on the coast that has the best jazz players in the world.

It's on Sco's page:

He's calling it the Chicago Blues Project, and it's also featuring Robben Ford... (!)

They're at the Blue Note in NYC 11/30-12/5.

Goodness.... I hope there's some sort of record coming out with this lineup! I bet it'll be sick!

They did some rehearsing at Toss' house recently.

[Mark P]

I'd like to see that too!
I think Toss' grease and John's scratchy tone will be perfect for one another...

Sco has a great ear for fresh drumming meat, so I'm not surprised he'd hook up with Toss. Sco introduced me to Chambers, Adam Deitch, and Idris Muhammad. I agree -- this is a really good match. Hope it sticks around for a year or two so they can get something recorded.

[Rodge]

Well, if Robben Ford is in the band, he must be responsible of Toss's presence, it's what I think.

Adam Deitch's stuff on 'Bump', ('Blackout' in particular) was fantastic.

So sloppy and groovy, like an early Carlock. It was the first time I had heard that type of constant left hand gracing. His left hand on that record made me WORK!!
