Always great to hear John Scofield play straight-ahead jazz. He's a master!

When John Scofield plays straight ahead jazz I think he is really in his element. This is a really nice version of this song. He even quotes part of Jim Hall's solo from the early 70s "Alone Together" album with Ron Carter in the last bridge section before they go back to the melody.

One of the main reasons that Scofield is able to make such substantial innovations in music, on multiple fronts, is that he has totally absorbed the roots of the music - blues and bebop. He plays absolutely authentic and masterful bop solos - no jiving whatsoever. He's the real deal.

Been following Sco for about 40 years. Heard him play in every setting imagenable, always amazing. thanks 😀🏄 ✌️ for posting. Peace and Sounds ✌️ cj

This has got to be one of the best jazz guitar solos ever

I had an argument with someone saying Sco doesn't swing...I told the guy to listen more...HAHAHA...This is so in the pocket

This blows my mind. It sounds so good and they keep it so interesting all the time.

Before I say anything about the gear you must realize that his tone comes from the way he plays. He isn't playing one way the entire video. He moves closer and farther away from the bridge to get a snappier and brighter tone. He also holds the pick at a certain angle. At times in this vid he (breaks the string loose) meaning he hits it hard enough to create a sound. A sort of accent. He also does hybrid picking. Also, his playing sounds as good as it does because he's playing in time really well

John is always sweet and sonic, identifiable style & sound...nice chemistry as duo, clean and candy to my ear! 🎵

what a great guitarist one of my favorites and beautiful bass playing !!

When I first heard Scotfield it was live in Prague. I didnt even know him and didnt even like him. After that gig I tried to listen it again a liked it more. And video after video I was more and more in love with that music, oh god.

Peaceful and touching! Great performance! 🥰

This could be in my top ten list of jazz solos

i just love hearing john playing like this...also gorgeous tone/sound....

SCO!

Glad to see he's not playing decrepit commercial music like the album "Bump". Now's he back to real music.

was the Phrase at 2:55 the melody of the Head to Gershwin's Summertime? it reminded me of it...

John Scoffield

Any info on this live? Year? Other videos?

bem isso

sublime

I hvilket program blev det her sendt? Ærgerligt at jeg ikke så det.

Sco!

can somebody tell me how to get this mellow jazz tone? PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Does anyone have a transcription of this by any chance?

This Theme is a Mix of Beatiful Love and the bridge segment of Coldtrains Lazy Bird, so better it would be called Beatiful Bird, Or Lazy Love...

@Rytmecharlie Nice! Tak for tippet, jeg ser næsten aldrig DR K af en eller anden grund, men jeg vil begynde nu :)

Tak :) Skønt

holy fuck

@ConCarneBlues hmnjaeeh jeg har det ikke hårdt...og vi har heldigvis en del musikere vi kan være stolte af

Elon musk on bass

Jazztone? Take an AC30 and you are all set :-)

i think they were in a hurry for somethin, maybe they had to go get a bite!

It is not for the first time when this wonderful ballad depicting loneliness of a couple and its inability to connect is being played as a jumpy, med swing happy clappy jazz. The song, as literally any other, is not a music only - it is also about the message - feelings, personal tragedy of those two beautifully described in lyrics. In this respect this duo version is a mistake. A proper attitude which I personally promote and practice: this tune should be played at least four times slower, with a very minimalistic attitude, using dynamics and accents as well as harmonic evolution to build a necessary tension that goes along with the lyrics.

...20 dislikes, can't believe it. 🤔

Sad not to find any of Scofield I like. All boring old-style notes . Who think you are ? Started well then empty of ideas.

Yeah!
