Timeless standards, covers of classics, original compositions: guitarist John Scofield has played them all in his 50-year career. In the most diverse constellations and on the biggest stages. Travelling between jazz , funk, soul, blues and rock, the guitarist is especially famous for his ‘inside outside’ improvisations. Here he spontaneously leaves the actual key - only to return to the original key according to his own rules in a natural and virtuoso manner.
Since the late 1970s, the John Scofield Trio has been his favourite line-up. The latest formation - with bassist Vicente Archer and drummer Bill Stewart alongside him - results in fabulous playing. The trio plays pieces that illustrate the musical diversity of Scofield's long career. More than a collection of songs, they play music that embodies the spirit of improvised jazz, which they have always kept alive and energetic.
