ScoLoHoFo: Oh!
by Terrell Kent Holmes
There's nothing more enjoyable than listening to a jazz album which features talented musicians who put their egos on pause, making stimulating and challenging music without stepping on each other's notes.

Fortunately this ...

Paul Motian for one, because then the album could have been called “ScoLoHoMo,” which would have been incredibly un-PC; or if Foster and Motian were both involved, “ScoLoHo, MoFo!” After considering these humorous alternatives, I put the CD in, and my jaw dropped. Here was an album, finally, that lived up ...
