JOHN SCOFIELD, considered along with Pat Metheny and Bill Frisell,
to be one of the three greatest jazz guitarists at this time, John
Scofield, (Dayton, Ohio, USA, 1951), is known for his modern
interpretations, his extraordinary capacity for improvisation and
his ability to compose songs that are sharp, rhythmic, and extremely
danceable. His sound, with its roots firmly in rock and soul, is
influenced by early Chuck Berry, Albert King and BB King. As a
teenager, he began to play rock and roll, urban blues and rhythm and
blues. Between 1982 and 1985 he accompanied Miles Davis and since
then has preferred to lead his own groups, although this has not
stopped him working together with Gary Burton, John Abercrombie,
Larry Coryell, Bennie Wallace, Peter Erskine, Hal Galper, Jack
DeJohnette, Joe Lovano, Bill Stewart and Brad Mehldau, amongst
other, as well as recording with Charlie Mingus and Chet Baker. His
discography is as extensive as it is great and among his more than
30 albums, perhaps the most outstanding are Still warm (86), Loud
Jazz (87), Hand Jive (93) and Oh! (03), in the company of Joe
Lovano, Dave Holland and Al Foster. Last September he brought out
This meets that, which includes, amongst other tracks, a version of
(I cant get no) Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones. The Malaga
concert of THE JOHN SCOFIELD TRIO plus HORNS - This Meets That,
features JOHN SCOFIELD -- guitar, STEVE SWALLOW -- bass, BILL
STEWART -- drums, PHIL GRENADIER -- trumpet and
