After making a few live and studio recordings for other labels, John Scofield came up with an album which ranks among his best. On ‘Still Warm’ we hear the maturity of his playing and the guitar sound that he refined in the studio with Miles Davis. The band are players comfortable in both the jazz and pop worlds, providing sensitive, inventive supp...
For his next album, Scofield put together a new band with a strong funk influence. ‘Blue Matter’ introduced the powerhouse drumming of Dennis Chambers to jazz fans. He had previously been with Parliament-Funkadelic. In lockstep with him was Gary Grainger, who often uses the slap technique on electric bass. Mitchell Forman was on keyboards while gui...
After six albums for Gramavision, John Scofield recorded ‘Time On My Hands’ for the relaunched Blue Note label to start a new chapter in his career. Joining him are the tenor saxophonist Joe Lovanowith two big personalities on their instruments, Charlie Haden on double bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums. The result is an intimate and free sounding s...
This recording pairs two of the great contemporary jazz guitarists, who have some shared history. Scofield had replaced Metheny in the band of vibraphonist Gary Burton back in 1977. Steve Swallow was the bass player in that band. He is Scofield’s mentor and he has produced many of his records. It was logical for him to play on the album alongside B...
Double bass player Dennis Irwin joined Lovano and Stewart for the excellent ‘What We Do’ (1993), replacing Marc Johnson in what was now the John Scofield Quartet. Irwin was central to two more albums as Scofield explored R&B and other Americana with changing personnel. A supportive player who used gut strings, he brings an old school bounce to the ...
Scofield’s debut for the Verve label features him on acoustic guitar exclusively, with the compositions orchestrated for horns and woodwinds. ‘Away With Words’ is a beautifully constructed ballad, while ‘Tulle’ and ‘Door#3’ are set to bossa novarhythms. On ‘After The Fact’ the ensemble cuts to solo acoustic guitar, which is a useful effect. While t...
For this album, John Scofield hooked up with Medeski, Martin & Wood, a keyboard-bass-drums trio known for their retro sounds and groove-based music. The partnership was inspired, with Scofield bringing his signature style and compositions to a rhythm section who were making waves on the US ‘jam band’ scene. The album is a good listen throughout. Tr...
In the liner notes for this album, John Scofield describes the musicians as his “one-time-only dream band”. They are alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett, pianist Brad Meldhau, double bass player Christian McBrideand drummer Billy Higgins. Each brings something unique to the proceedings. Scofield had the idea for the album after playing with Higgins, a v...
The humorously titled ‘Country For Old Men’ contains some interesting takes on well-known country songs. Hank Williams’ ‘I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry’ is taken as a fast freewheeling swing and Dolly Parton’s ‘Jolene’ becomes a jazz waltz. On Shania Twain’s ‘You’re Still The One’, Scofield’s smouldering solo is filled with emotion. The recording feat...
John Scofield assembled a new band for this recording, the title being a reference to his age at the time. The sound sits between the quartet and the more groove-based albums, and compares with Scofield’s best. Gerald Clayton is a compelling soloist on both piano and organ. Vicente Archer has a dark, percussive sound on double bass. He had worked w...
