Live

Description

Fiery solos and studio know-how are the trademarks of John Scofield, 28, a jazz guitarist who, in just a few years, has already amassed an impressive catalog of concerts and records with leading jazz musicians such as Billy Cobham, George Duke, the late Charlie Mingus, Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker, and many others. John has recorded a solo album "John Scofield Live," which captures him in a modern jazz setting with pianist Richie Beirach, bassist George Mraz, and drummer Joe LaBarbera. Simple lines possess a fluidity and smoothness reminiscent of a horn, while his chords, like voices, articulate a natural and unpretentious approach to the electric guitar. So whether he soars into fantastic improvisational flights or dives into smoking bebop, John Scofield has grown up in the world of electric jazz.
