Even before it went steeply uphill for John Scofield in 1982, he was in great demand as a guitarist, whether with Charles Mingus or Gary Burton. Then Miles Davis took him into his band, and Scofield recorded for him his to the present day distinctive sound in legendary fusion records such as Decoy. Today we can no longer imagine the pool of the five worldwide most influential jazz guitarists without Scofield and his characteristic creaking single notes. It is an honor for the WDR Big Band that Scofield himself is coming to lend his most famous pieces orchestral pulse and groove. Bandleader Michael Abene contributed the new arrangements.
Last year another great arranger (Vince Mendoza) with another fine big band (Metropole Orkest) released a record featuring John Scofield, entitled 54.

Oh man, what a treat! Can't ever have enough Sco'! And this, right on the heels of that terrific Miles set! Thanks, thanks, thanks!
THank you. I'm interested in jazz guitarists playing with Big Bands.
Do you have Bill Frisell & HR Big Band play Monk & Mingus - Frankfurt 2008. I've been looking for months.
I Just want to say how grateful I am that you have made so much terrific music available to people like me who frankly are NEVER gonna make it to Jazz Baltica, or any Euro Jazz show-but thanks to you I can listen! These Sco shows, along with a host of others like the Frisell shows, etc. are the highlight of my day when ever I get online to check in...I can't thank you enough! The Quality of info along with the posts is truly great. THANKS!!!
