I don’t usually comment. I just listen and read, but when Scofield plays I have to write. I have seen him more times than any other ‘jazz’ artist. It’s weird, when he is really grooving, it looks like he is having a seizure, until it feels lIke I am having one as well. I guess that’s what you call transcendental. Keep them coming Bill.
Music so good you may need to be hospitalized! ; )
Hmm, Different.
Awesome version with Medeski, Martin & Wood live version
Thank You. I will check it out. I love MMW! ...it is on You Tube.
Dang but this does swing. Gotta love MMW's work on this bad boy! Digging on the counterpoints all over the place. Easy 9 from South Billyburg.
I Agree completely! Thabx RP!

it just seems that this was used for a TV show... thought it was Barney Miller but it is not. anybody else hearing this?
There is a lot of twang in the base. Barney Miller had a very bass-heavy theme song with a fair amount of twang in it.
John Medeski lending his funk to Scofield, can't go wrong.
amen
Fred,
Your parents called from The Beyond. They tried to do their best by you, but they'd really appreciate it if you'd let go of your hatred of their musical choices.
I'd give this an 8.5 if I could.
Billy Martin on drums makes this track for me. An easy 9.
Fine by me - jazz sucks the big one to these ears. Your comment reminds me of my jazzophile father, to whom technical virtuosity was the main criterion for judging jazz numbers. Never mind that it sounded like a herd of tomcats on heat, if it's fiendishly difficult to play and hasall sorts of esoteric musical techniques in the scoring, it's the dog's bollox in his view. As a non-sophisto myself, I'll take something with a decent toon, without all the self-indulgent noodling and discords and ear-mangling percussion that so characterises 'sophisto-jazz'. This number may be more processed than a can of baked beans but it sounds good, and that's all I give a monkeys about.

Seconded... 😁
I love it, but it somehow seems to point at my lack of cool. Like I wish I could move to that song the way it deserves, but I know I would be falling short. Does that make any sense?
And you have every right to say no

I mean that as a compliment, not a criticism...
![{#Bananajam} {#Bananajam}](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/bananajam.gif)
John Scofield has played and recorded with Charles Mingus, Miles Davis, Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker, George Duke, Billy Cobham, Pat Metheny, and quite a few other jazz notables - one hell of a "second career". That obviously does not make him a musical genius but I don't think that claim had been made here anyhow.

Reminds me of the funkiest of funky chickens. Maybe she wound up in the pot by the time you heard this...
actually, it's "A No No".
Ha, that's funny. I like this track, but I'd prefer to hear something off the album "Still Warm"...

Not my cuppa...
Maybe it's just me... If so, that's fine...
very groovy jam... love it...

prolly my second favorite guitarist next to Pat Metheny. nice groove.
The drums are mechanical and could be replaced by a drum machine and nobody would notice — this guy seems to only know one lick. It's painful to listen to the beautiful sounds of a Hammond brutalized by heavy digital effects and processed within an inch of its life.

Playing quarter and eighth notes doesn't make musical genius either. Otherwise, this is just a vacuous attempt to copy actual acid jazz by people who most likely entered music as a "second career".
Sounds like the hipster from Portlandia is a master baiter.
I guess I always thought that John Scofield was an actual, fully credentialed, jazz guitarist.
Made me BUY it!
Estival Jazz, Lugano, Switzerland, 5th July 2007 John Medeski - Keyboards John Scofield - Guitar Chris Wood - Bass Billy Martin - Drums.
i kinda agree...although I'd say I "enjoy" his music in small doses...
You've got to appreciate well-placed notes. Great album.
i've listened to this album religously since it's conception....if you like this song i recommend it strongly!!

This is truly a great example of what you can buy with a whole lot of studio time and unlimited digital post-production.
Is he playing a 335 here?
Like Django or perhaps Les Paul?

At least a million on the Scoville scale! unlike the Red Hot Chili Peppers this is completely hot !
Rates at least a 9 on the RP/Scofield Scale!
