John Scofield

Jazz Album Review: Guitarist John Scofield — A Solo Album, Finally

Now that he’s 70, it’s only right that guitarist John Scofield takes a victory lap with his first solo album.

Jazz CD Review: John Scofield’s “Swallow Tales” — Steve Swallow’s Quirky Romanticism

This is an intelligent, inventively performed, be-boppish tribute to a composer I now know better than ever.

The Fuse in London: Jazz Festival, Diary 3

But on to the bliss of the first half, and I don’t use the word “bliss” lightly. In every respect, John Scofield, Steve Swallow, and Bill Stewart are one of the most cohesive units in jazz, and their hour together was superb. By Steve Elman. John Scofield was the headliner last night, but it seems […]
