The long-running relationship between guitar icon John Scofield and the all-star jam band Lettuce is built on a deep and abiding love of funk. They reunite for these two nights during Scofield’s week in a welcome reprise of the scorching performances from the 2018-19 Season.
Keyboardist and vocalist Nigel Hall went on to play with Soulive, while drummer Adam Deitch spent several years working with Sco, providing the potent grooves on his Verve albums Überjam and Up All Night. Saxophonist Ryan Zoidis long divided his time between Soulive and Maine’s popular jazz/funk band Rustic Overtones, and bassist Erick “Jesus” Coomes has toured internationally with Britney Spears and The Game. Guitarist Adam “Shmeeans” Smirnoff has also worked widely as a first-call sideman with an array of artists, including Lady Gaga and Robert Randolph, while trumpeter Eric Bloom, the band’s most recent addition, has become a New Orleans stalwart, recording with Jon Cleary and Aaron Neville. The band’s latest is 2022’s Unify.
