Guitarist John Scofield and bassist Dave Holland, two of jazz’s contemporary masters, have played together over the years in contexts including projects with Herbie Hancock and Joe Henderson and a spirited co-led band with Joe Lovano and Al Foster.

Memories of Home is their first duo album, made at NRS Studios, in Catskill, New York, last year, after extensive touring activity. John Scofield: “The record, like our live shows, features tunes each of us composed, some new, some old. We share decades of common references musically. The similarities and differences in our approaches make for a more interesting collaboration, I think.”

Recorded at NRS Studios in Catskill, New York, in August 2024, the album opens on the beguiling Icons at the Fair (itself inspired by Herbie Hancock’s arrangement of “Scarborough Fair”) and then we get the laid law, languishing beauty of the Scofield classic Meant to Be, the rhythmically melodious Mine Are Blues and the _____________ of Memorette.

Along next is the effectively emotive Mr. B (Dedicated to Ray Brown), which is dedicated to Holland’s first double bass hero, which is in turn backed by the ____________ of Not for Nothin’, the poignant ballad Easy for You, the set rounding out on the __________ of You I Love, closing on the simply sumptuous Memories of Home.
