Jazz guitarist John Scofield is known as a master of the modern tradition, capable of playing time-tested standards as well as experimenting with young musicians like Medeski, Martin and

Wood. On his new album, _That's What I Say_, Scofield pays tribute to the late master: Ray Charles. And he has some help, ranging from Mavis Staples and John Mayer to Dr. John and David

"Fathead" Newman, who played saxophone in Charles' band. Copyright 2005 XPN
