Named for the Grateful Dead song that concludes this inspired double album, Uncle John's Band features masterful guitarist John Scofield at his most freewheeling.

 Wide ranging repertoire finds his trio with Vicente Archer and Bill Stewart tackling material from Dylan's "Mr Tambourine Man" to Neil Young's "Old Man", from Leonard Bernstein's "Somewhere" to the Miles Davis Birth of the Cool classic "Budo". And jazz standards including "Stairway to the Stars" and "Ray's Idea" rub shoulders with seven Scofield originals that are variously swing, funk and folk infected. The red thread through the programme is the trio's tremendous improvisational verve.
