John Scofield – John Scofield

John Scofield’s first guitar solo recording gives a resume of all the influences and idioms he has cultivated over his career in performances on guitar, accompanied by his own rhythmic pulse and chordal backing using a loop machine.

Between elegant and personal readings of standards, Scofield presents his own timeless compositions — some new, others known. For the guitarist, it’s all about “the way you get the sound out of the string and what you do with it after you attack it.”
