Biography
He recorded with Charles Mingus in 1976, and replaced Pat Metheny in Gary Burton’s quartet. In autumn 1976 he signed a contract with Enja Records, and he released his first album East Meets West in 1977. In 1979 he formed a trio with Steve Swallow and Adam Nussbaum. He later joined Miles Davis, with whom he remained until 1985.
While still with Davis, he released Electric Outlet (1984). Still Warm (1985) followed after he left Davis’s group.
At the beginning of the 1990s, he formed a quartet with Joe Lovano with whom he recorded several important albums for Blue Note Records. Time on My Hands (1990), with Lovano, Charlie Haden and Jack DeJohnette, showcased Scofield’s guitar and Mingus-influenced writing. Bill Stewart subsequently became the group’s drummer, and played on Meant to Be (1991) and What We Do (1993). In 1992, Scofield released Grace Under Pressure, featuring fellow guitarist Bill Frisell, with Charlie Haden on bass and Joey Baron on drums. Stewart was back in the drum chair for the 1994 collaboration with Pat Metheny, I Can See Your House from Here. Also, in 1997 he recorded “A Go Go” LP, supported by the fame of Medeski, Martin and Wood, truly a masterpiece with range of lounge music and finest funk feel behind the beat.

EnRoute trio live! (with the masters Steve Swallow and Bill Stewart) Also _Grace Under Pressure_ (featuring Bill Frisell), and _I Can See Your House From Here_, with the great Pat Metheny. My, but _A Go Go_ is certainly popular, judging by the charts. Guess that was a good commercial move of Sco's. Hardly my favorite, though...
