Event: PDX Jazz presents John Scofield's Combo 73
Presented By: PDX Jazz
Date: November 1, 2025
Time: 8:00 PM to 11:30 PM
Location: Kirkland Performance Center | 350 Kirkland Avenue, Kirkland, WA 98033
Aside from being one of the principal innovators of modern jazz guitar, John Scofield is a creative artist of an even rarer sort: a stylistic chameleon who has forged a consistent, rock-solid aesthetic identity. Looking to commemorate his 73rd year, Scofield has penned a collection of new compositions and re-formed the swinging group – formerly Combo 66 - to tour the music. Rising star Gerald Clayton is an obvious choice on piano, an instrument central to the tunes.
The connection between Scofield and drummer Bill Stewart strengthens as the decades pass. It was Stewart who introduced bassist Vicente Archer to the project eight years ago. Scofield is thrilled with the group and in addition to the musical combustion, especially enjoys the inter-generational quality - seventies, fifties and forties represented! Scofield will close 2025 with this band on tour.

“To be in the T-Birds, you need to understand the different styles of music and different ways of playing,” Wilson comments. “You have to be willing to adopt a more contemporary style. The guys we have now are able to do that.”
