John Scofield: Works For Me
by Mark Corroto
Today’s lesson is you cannot escape your past. Like Jay Gatsby at a Hampton’s society party, John Scofield’s roots in rock and R&B show themselves in his self-proclaimed “straight-ahead record” Works For Me. But this is not all bad news, since most of Mr. Scofield’s audience was bred in the rock vernacular. Besides he is coming ...

Not enough attention has been given to his first recordings for Bethlehem and Argo and then ...
