LETTUCE is (a) the prime ingredient in a salad, (b) a slang for cash, (c) a green herb that can be smoked, (d) a genre-busting six-member musical collective formed in 1992 by four alumni of the prestigious Berklee College Of Music, or (e) all of the above. If you answered “e,” then you’re in on the sheer magic of a band that both feeds the rich history of funk music and combines it with strains of hip-hop, rock, psychedelia, jazz, soul, jam, go-go, and the avant-garde.

Lettuce

Count Basie Center for the Arts

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.

Scofield appeared as a special guest on the band’s 2002 debut album Outta Here (Velour Recordings), forging a connection that’s matured as the Lettuce players evolved from enthusiastic teens at a Berklee summer program known for hitting up Boston venues for gigs with the insistent refrain “Let us play!” (hence the name Lettuce) to a jam band supergroup.
