John Scofield: Quiet and Loud Jazz at Lincoln Center's Appel Room
Himself
Jazz Night In America se encontró con Scofield la primavera pasada, justo antes de tocar en un concierto llamado "Quiet And Loud Jazz" en el Jazz at Lincoln Appel Room. La idea era reconocer y salvar la distancia entre los dos álbumes dispares, lo que podría haber sido más difícil si no hubiera sido por la astuta coherencia de Scofield. "No es como otros famosos músicos de jazz, donde su estilo cambia, ya sabes, de década en década", dice Jim Beard, el veterano tecladista en la mano para la mitad del concierto de Loud Jazz. "Suena muy similar a lo que sonaba, ya sabes, hace 30 años. No creo que suene tan diferente. Y es un estilo personal tan fuerte que es increíble".

John Scofield: New Morning The Paris Concert
Guitar
El veterano de la guitarra de jazz ha tenido una larga carrera que se remonta a mediados de los 70. Scofield, uno de los "tres grandes" guitarristas de jazz contemporáneo (los otros dos son Pat Metheny y Bill Frisell), ha trabajado con algunos de los grandes del jazz a lo largo de su carrera, incluidos Charles Mingus, Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker y Miles Davis. Su propia música es una amalgama tan ecléctica de post-bop, fusión, funk y soul jazz que incluso se le ha encontrado trabajando con artistas tan lejanos como Soul Coughing y Sex Mob.

John Scofield - Live 3 Ways
Himself
Hace 15 años, en mayo pasado, el guitarrista John Scofield desempolvó algunos de sus muchos sombreros musicales ante cámaras en Chelsea Studios en Nueva York. El resultado, lanzado recientemente en DVD, es un bonete muy unido de jazz, blues y soul, subrayado como siempre por el distintivo sonido de guitarra de Scofield. Las "3 formas del título del disco se refieren a los tres conjuntos separados que aparecen esa noche. El primero: un trío de Scofield, el organista Don Pullen y el baterista Marvin" Smitty Smith "abre el procedimiento con un equilibrio de matices y energía total. Si nada más, las dos canciones transmitidas por estos tres - "Bolivar Blues" de Thelonious Monk y Charlie Chan de Steve Swallow - son un recordatorio de la capacidad de Scofield de subir o bajar la carga, dependiendo de la ocasión, el acompañamiento y el estado de ánimo. En este caso, la elección fue mayor, debido en gran parte al apoyo de alto octanaje de Smith y Pullen.
Miles Davis: Live from the Montreal Jazz Festival
Guitar Player
This 1985 performance at the Montreal Jazz Festival captures Miles at one of his peaks in popularity. Throughout his long career, Miles utilized the best in contemporary pop music, and this time he had some uniquely suitable sources; Cyndi Lauper's hit "Time After Time" and Michael Jackson's "Human Nature." Combine funk, pop, and the founder of the Birth of the Cool, the result is an elegant restrained restatement of everything Miles Davis. Add in the virtuoso guitarist John Scofield - and the result is a musical treasure.
