@justinturner7311 9 жыл бұрын

Srry gingervytis, you must have been in a bad mood when you listened to this :) Scofield never plays the same thing twice, makes 0 mistakes, is able to shift mood effortlessly and even adds in a few be-boppy licks just to keep it spicy. Also, he pulled off a convincing flat 9 at about 8:30. And notice how he really embraces the space between the notes at the beginning. There's a lot here you apparently didn't hear... but I'll forgive you :)

At my age I have to wonder at some of the comments immediately rating players as best, better, worse, mediocre etc as if it is some sort of fucking contest. Further, it makes me wonder if people who think like that have any genuine connection to music. Maybe instead get down into the vibe and forget all the bullshit if you intend to ever play what could remotely be describe as music or musical. If you don't understand don't bother.

Word. He _underplays_ most of the time, which is super-rare. I put one of his solos from _Blue_Matter_ on repeat just because he left me hanging so bad with a solo that started to smolder and then ended. That's hard to do; he has great restraint and musical vision.

Thanks for sharing this. Who wrote this? Is it a Gov.Mule? Or a Scofield ? Or some traditional ? I started getting high around 1971. The next year returning Vietnam vets brought some Opium back from the " golden triangle". At eight A.M. me and a couple buddies took maybe two puffs each. And then passed into narcotic induced phantasm euphoria. Around a quarter to five P.M. we all snapped out of it only to finally see and hear Cindy's hysterical cries to, "Wake up!! Get out of my house!! My mother will be back from work any minute! Get up! Go! Go, get out of the house!! Please!!" And we three softly floated out the door. Each returning home. And the sweet embrace of Orpheum. Peace. NFA
