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.

By: Allen Michie Filed Under: Featured, Jazz, Music, Review Tagged: Allen Michie, John Scofield

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.

By: Michael Ullman Filed Under: Featured, Jazz, Music, Review Tagged: Bill Stewart, ECM, John Scofield, Steve Swallow, Swallow Tales

Concert Review: Hudson at the Berklee Performance Center

It’s clear these four musicians love playing together. As long as the magic lasts, it’s well worth your hearing.

Jazz CD Review: “Hudson” — Free Jazz in the Summer of Love

Hudson serves up varied, fresh, and exciting free jazz that imaginatively draws on rock, funky blues, and folk music.

Jazz Concert Review: John Scofield’s “Country for Old Men” — Well Worth a Visit

Country for Old Men is surely going to stand as one of the best, as well as among the most unusual, recordings of the year.

Jazz CD Reviews: John Scofield’s “Überjam Deux” and Dave Holland’s “Prism”

Dave Holland’s Prism tells stories, several of which are very effective. Scofield’s, like his earlier Überjam releases, extends the jam-band esthetic into jazz without completely giving in to it. And neither of them would be as they are without the great looming shadow of Miles Davis.

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 […]
