Okay, I reckon you listed mostly flashy,, often speed oriented Fusion guys or others on the Rock/Flamenco side of Fusion (Poland And Dimeola). The sole Jazz name you listed is Benson, but we all know he is also a chops, speed demon in his own right... So I see technique and speed as main attractors in your tastes...I reckon Speed and chops and virtuoso technique as the aforementioned players are not really features of Sco's style. I also reckon you like mostly diatonic players, meaning 'out' is not really our thing?... (McLaughlin might be the exception in that department, especially his older, 1970s bag)...So In relation to your tastes I can see why you think his paying here is 'boring'....By any chance have you ever listened to 'Still Warm' or Pick Hits Live'?

Scofield is a magical guitar player. I'm certain he isn't "thinking" like a typical guitar player when he plays. He has transcended that a long time ago. He is a musical great on the same level as the biggest and most sacred names in jazz. Miles, Coltrane, Monk, Parker, Gillespie, to name a few. Jazz has other great guitarist. Benson, Pass, and many others. But Scofield is something different from them. He isn't just a great jazz guitar player. Scofield is one of the great jazz musicians.

This progression he's soling over could be reduced to a Bluesy II/V vamp -despite playing a lot of other things over it - 'two fiving w/ chromaticism to temporary tonicizations of various notes', etc, in essence he playing Blues. Someone wrote that no matter what Sco plays, it always sounds like he's playing The Blues, which is true to a great extent. Some old Jazz Educator once said: "Well...what's Jazz, besides II/Vs and Blues?" We know it's more than that, but that's its essence. Sco rules

Miles did that often, he would record the band jamming and then listen for snippets of this he liked. He did that to a Sco impromptu on that track from 'Star People', 'speak'. Then he transcribed it and put the phrase starting on a different part of the beat and measure. And he gave the title of the actual circumstance that impaired it. 'That's What Happened'. But perhaps more importantly, he was fair in giving Scofied co-compoer credit for having 'spontaneously composed' that theme/melody.

It's got soul and isn't in fact as chaotic as you think.
