John Scofield owes a great deal to Medeski, Martin & Wood for the success of A Go Go. The piano/organ, bass, and drum playing trio adds a world of bouncing vibes to Scofield's inquisitive, happy guitar work here. A Go Go is an album of mostly breezy, sometimes tense, jam-based grooves. The album's charm is in its "city meets the tropics" feel. The four players create such a warm, vibrant sound that resisting the urge to tap one's feet along with the beat becomes a near impossibility. The opening song is a treat of plucked guitars and tightly packed new jazz. Other standouts are "Kubrick," a swooning, gentle change of pace packed with background tension, and "Hottentot," a tour de force of dynamic interplay. There's nary a moment of filler to be found across the ten tracks. It's clear that Scofield enjoyed the collaboration, as his guitars seem to nearly speak joy. His alternately jangling and plucking style sees him weaving in and out of the young trio's sound net with ample confidence. As fun as A Go Go is, it's just as well-sequenced, as Scofield and company vary their pace and tone expertly throughout the album's running time. A Go Go is far more than four cool cats jamming together and enjoying each other's company. It's an immensely entertaining, enlightening ride. © Tim DiGravina /TiVo

I got it a couple of years ago as an iso-file from SACD, converted it with foobar and the automatically produced files were 24/88,2 - I can only suppose that this SACD was made in an obscure Japanese or Chinese factory... by the way: 8 years ago I bought a DOUBLE-CD of John Scofield's Pick hits live - japanese only release, never again did I see another copy... I paid 80 dollars on ebay, I'm happy to have it - if you check discogs: NO ENTRY, if you check www: NO ENTRY - nevertheless, it exists and you can dl it on isra!!!

so concerning the SACD: don't complain, enjoy the music!!!

I'm not complaining per se. However, every track skips in at least one spot so... if you have access to the ISO and would be willing to post it, it would be further appreciated. :) Thank you!

Interesting find. Many thanks!

Spectrogram analysis shows frequencies are cut off at 24kHz, so it's not an upsampled CD (22kHz cut-off). It's also not a vinyl rip (no clicks or noise).
