His next solo release was the record Some Change in 1994.

In May 2003, Scaggs released But Beautiful, an assortment of jazz standards that debuted at #1 on the jazz chart. In 2008 he released Speak Low, which he described in the liner notes as “a kind of progressive, experimental attempt … along the paths of a few of the thoughts that Gil Evans investigated.” During 2004, the musician released a DVD and a live 16 track CD which was recorded August 2003 at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. Following a rest in record, in 2008, he undertook a string of shows throughout the United States. Two years followed when the performer started a tour with Donald Fagen and Michael McDonald.
