5 time nominated and 3 time Grammy-winning recipient John Scofield represents a true middle ground between the innovative jazz scene of the 80s and jazz-funk fusion.
Known for his hallmark style of articulation, Scofield possesses one of the most iconic guitar sounds of all time. Cutting his teeth playing with the likes of Miles Davis, Chet Baker and Charles Mingus, Scofield shaped the sound of groove-based jazz fusion in the 90s with records ‘A Go Go’, ‘Hand Jive’ and ‘Groove Elation’. Recordings of this era feature all the angularity and interest of previous releases with a more accessible sound and infectious, playful energy. Come and experience a groovier shade of jazz, hosted by a cast of exciting young musicians!
