I love these interviews. I think that beyond the music it's a chance to get a glimpse of the humanity of these giants. And that, for me, only enriches their musical output
Great interview! It seems to be just like hanging out with Sco, probably because you guys are obviously friends and he's very much himself anyway. He mentioned Louie Shelton of the Wrecking Crew. Louie is still around and even has his own TH-cam page. In addition to "Last Train to Clarksville", which Sco mentioned, Louie also played the solo on Lionel Richie's "Hello", which my teen blues rock band used to play for fun and our edification only at rehearsals. In those pre-internet days, we used to wonder who that great soloist was. Our guess back then was George Benson.
Hello Pablo! Thanks for both interviews with Sco! Sco is my favorite jazz guitarist and I enjoyed listening to your conversation. Scofield got to play several Zappa themes (another musician I highly respect) with Duke and Cobham, as well as Govt Mule. I've always been interested in Sco's opinion about Zappa as a composer and musician - will you have the opportunity to ask him this question at your next meeting with Sco (if there is one planned)? Thank you!)
TH-cam always likes us to go on a search for 1. Why not just give us John Scofield interviewed by Pablo Held PART I? Then we can watch II next. Make sense? It makes PERFECTLY good sense to me. I want someone to agree out there. Let's give part 1 before part 2. Any other geniuses out there on the planet?
I love transcribing John Scofield songs, but I occasionally run into trouble, because his voicings can be pretty closed, and ambiguity of the harmony throws me off.
This channel is a gold mine for jazz enthusiasts
thank you so much!!

Clark Terry, I think said: Imitation, Assimilation, Innovation. But I'm sure similar sentiments have been expressed by others. Cheers!

Ya Know about 150 times buddy. You got licks, but a very limited sense of grammar and vocabulary.
