John Scofield (born December 26, 1951 in Dayton, Ohio) is a jazz guitarist and composer, who played and eventually collaborated with Miles Davis. A bebop master, Scofield is simultaneously well acquainted with R&B and blues styles which he mixes seamlessly with his jazz playing.
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.

Dig his solo on "Hottentot", his masterpiece to date. The best jazz is improvised melodic composition, and this work sets the bar very high. Loose and tight, unabashed, bebop funky and funky bebop, pushing the envelope, ever soulful and passionate, reaching higher and attaining the top. Love the tag with psychedelic reverb. Touche! Take that, Mr.Brecker!

Ohhhh, what can be said about Sco?! Whew, so so much. Highly recommended from early on with Miles Davis to his own groups - all superbly perennial! Genius, soulful, emotive, and FUNKY... if i was stuck in an airport, bad weather, no end in sight, and plenty of batteries for my player, i'd definitely wish to have with me several CDs by this guy! Phenomenal - in particular Time on My Hands (1990), and Shinola (1981), oh and Pick Hits Live (1987), oh and also Quiet (1996), well also Uberjam (2002). Yeah, there's more but i'd run out of batteries!

Only you know that. But wait, it get's better. His work with Marc Johnson on Bass Desires. Kickass track called Thrill Seekers is off the hook.
