I too, am late to join the Scofield fan club. Having grown up in the 60's/70's, . . . I gravitated from pop, to classic rock, to hard rock! I played in a band in high school, with a guitarist who was influenced by the Beatles, then Peter Frampton, then later . . . Yes and Genesis. He was a great guitar player, who taught me some cool chords and riffs. After we graduated however, he sold his Les Paul, next he sold his Explorer, . . . I thought he lost his mind! Then he started buying all these hollow-body guitars . . . . Gibson Howard Roberts, Ibanez 2335 ES-175, etc. He began listening to George Benson, Pat Metheny & Larry Carlton to name a few. He really got into jazz, which was cool . . . but, I didn't quite understand. Years later, as I have matured, (both musically as well as physically) . . . I GET IT!!! Sco's playing really speaks to me. The textures, the runs, the subtleties . . . just draw me in. And add to that, the fact that he's not a showboat. Jazz is definitely cool, and John Scofield is one of the coolest! 👍
Thank you very much. I think things, playing and tunes like this are helping to bring more people closer and love jazz and music "per se" much more than the 95% of smooth jazz records (and a lot of really sophisticated jazz compositions and arrangements with a zillion of polychords and tempo changes per bar at top speed, in the other hand) (Just saying. I too love some tempo changes and engaging complexity, and even some tunes that score as "smooth jazz"...but sometimes too much soul is lost)
I got to see this band July 19 in Edinburgh John Scofield is the boss
I can’t get enough this version!
So glad to hear him at seventy playing at the height of his powers; endlessly inspired and ever-soulful.
Thanks so much for posting it! I’m loving the new album. Master Sco!
