John Scofield: This Meets That And More

Read "John Scofield: This Meets That And More" reviewed by R.J. DeLuke


Guitarist John Scofield is an unassuming chap, seemingly at ease with himself and most things around him. He's ever congenial. Clever and well-grounded. Catch him wearing spectacles, and his look is professorial.But don't, for a minute, think Scofield isn't serious about music. The status he's achieved in the music world was accomplished with hard ...

John Scofield: This Meets That

Read "This Meets That" reviewed by Doug Collette


The first tones you hear on This Meets That are those of John Scofield's guitar as if it's being tuned to a particular frequency. Listening to the CD it becomes clear there is, in fact, a wavelength into which all the musicians involved have locked. No doubt bassist Steve Swallow and drummer Bill Stewart know that ...

John Scofield: This Meets That

Read "This Meets That" reviewed by John Kelman


It was inevitable. Guitarist John Scofield has, for the past decade, alternated regularly between albums aimed at the groove-centric (and broader) demographic he first captured with A Go Go (Verve, 1998) and discs appealing to a more committed jazz audience. Scofield has always represented a unique combination of advanced harmony, allowing him to seamlessly migrate between ...

John Scofield: Sco'in For It

Read "John Scofield: Sco'in For It" reviewed by Terrell Kent Holmes

He made his first recordings as a leader in the mid-1970s and several years later landed the gig of his career by joining Miles' band shortly ...

Trio Beyond (DeJohnette - Goldings - Scofield): Saudades

Read "Saudades" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Questo bellissimo doppio album è sostanzialmente un atto di amore.
