Scofield is totally unique. He can play bluesy and funky but he also can play, with total authority and authenticity, the most advanced bop. He really knows harmony inside-out and he has that elastic phrasing that guys like Charlie Parker had but you don't hear in guitarists who come out of fusion. He's a great composer, too.

Right on! I really appreciate John Scofield. Such a vast library. I will admit, about 35% of his work I could take it or leave it and maybe 5-10 % I do not like at all. But damn, considering the amount of material this guy has put out and continues to put out, it amazes me how much wonderful and unique material one artist can manufacture on a consistent basis for so many years. His playing puts you somewhere that no one else has the ability put you in, which is my standard for what I consider “truly unique”. Not to mention that fkn tone. That chorus/fuzz tone that he uses at the end of this jam and randomly throughout other numbers of his (not exactly sure what effects he’s using) is so thick and soulful, even at a quiet volume. As time goes on, I appreciate Scofield more and more.

@@82camino96 When Scofield solos he does what the other jazz masters did in the past, which is tell a story - you hear him in the process of discovery. Most modern fusion players tend to play chops and they're impressive but for me what they play lacks the depth of master horn players like Joe Henderson or Sonny Rollins who really took you on a journey.
