Scandal sets a new standard in jazz as co-leaders Joe Lovano and Dave Douglas present their second recording with pianist Lawrence Fields, bassist Linda May Han Oh, and drummer Joey Baron.

The super group heads off into swinging, heartfelt and sophisticated new territory inspired by saxophonist giant Wayne Shorter. Two of Shorter’s pieces receive special treatment. A truly fantastic and original group playing new originals and music by Shorter.
