Guest Bill Barton Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 ...and I was looking at the shiny head not the shape of the axe. Quote
sheldonm Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 Is that a young Joe? Hmmmmmmmm................... ...why am I always taking photos of shiny headed guitar players? Quote
rockefeller center Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 Great! I've been collecting pics of old guitar players with shiny heads. I'm sure one of these photoshop "geeks" can put some hair on him!!! You rang. Quote
7/4 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 You rang. Oldfield is looking a bit grey these days. Quote
jazzhound Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 Scofields latest is terrific. sound is great also. one of his best Quote
mjzee Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Aggie, don't remember if we've ever discussed this...have you heard this album? Bill Goodwin, "Solar Energy" 3 tracks are a trio with Sco and Swallow, recorded 3/10/79; the other 4 tracks are a quartet with Sco, Bill Dobbins and Steve Gilmore, recorded 9/14/80. Very tasty. Quote
Aggie87 Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Posted January 20, 2008 MJ - I've overlooked that one. Sounds like it's worth tracking down though! I like alot of the early Sco recordings (as well as some of the most recent - Trio Beyond, En Route, and This Meets That are all VERY good!). I looked on line and it appears this Goodwin has never been released on cd, unfortunately (I have a turntable, but it's packed away at the moment). Thanks for the heads up! Quote
7/4 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Posted March 29, 2008 . John Scofield - My Ideal (Acoustic Solo Guitar) . Quote
7/4 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Posted March 29, 2008 . sco backstage talking gear and hanging out with the japanese cameracrew and playing "since you asked" from time on my hands. . Quote
7/4 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Posted March 29, 2008 Sco & Jaco Cool. There was a local band here in NJ that used to play the Chicken every week. One week Kenwood subed for the drummer and I didn't know who he was. mid '80's... Quote
marcello Posted March 29, 2008 Report Posted March 29, 2008 I always dug this one: Jazz trivia: Joe LaBarbera once told me that the owner of the club was drunk and laying on the stage with his head next to the bass drum. Quote
Joe G Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 John Scofield (guitar); Jon Cleary (piano, organ, vocals); George Porter Jr (bass); Ricky Fataar (drums); John Bouttè (vocals); Shannon Powell (percussion) 2009 Release. It is a rare artist that can explore more than one kind of music with true fluency, virtuosity and sincerity. Guitarist John Scofield can, and he s proven it once again with Piety Street - a powerful collection of Gospel renditions. Playing with John on this recording: Born in Kent, England in 1964, Jon Cleary is known for his salty-sweet voice, masterful piano/ organ skills. Cleary is best known as a member of Bonnie Raitt's band and his own group Jon Cleary & the Absolute Monster Gentlemen. Sharing a 26 December birthday with Scofield, Porter, Jr. was born in Louisiana in 1947. Few bass players in the history of modern New Orleans music are as storied as George Porter Jr. During the course of a career spanning four decades, Porter earned recognition as one of America's most iconic and elite bass players as a member of The Meters. Born in Durban, South Africa in 1952, Ricky Fataar started playing drums at age nine. Fataar appeared in film The Rutles, All You Need is Cash, playing guitarist Stig O'Hara. Stateside by the early 70's, he joined the Beach Boys, touring and recording as their drummer. He has been Bonnie Raitt's drummer since 1979. Multi-instrumentalist, Ricky also writes music for films. Born into a seventh generation Lousiana, singer John Boutté lives and breathes the heart and soul of New Orleans. Boutte works with a wonderful amalgam of styles -- from torchy jazz to soul and African-American gospel. Also native to New Orleans, drummer and percussionist Shannon Powell, 43, is both a traditional jazz and modern jazz musician. Powell is widely recognized for his six years in Harry Connick Jr. s band. Quote
Aggie87 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Posted March 24, 2009 Do you have this one already, Joe? If so, how do you like it? Quote
Joe G Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 I found out about it just before I posted, so, nope. I'm interested, though. Quote
CJ Shearn Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 that's a cool cover but I think probably some people will find it offensive. Quote
Guest Bill Barton Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 It's a very good recording although Gospel is not generally really my "cup of tea." This one gets mighty greasy... Quote
oneofanotherkind Posted March 29, 2009 Report Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) I remember when Sco put out his Ray tribute ... I was like oh man first Sco ever I don't get a copy of. Eventually I broke down and bought it. This one will probably be the same ! Edited March 29, 2009 by oneofanotherkind Quote

This one will probably be the same ! Though I have to say that the night I saw him on that tour, it was some of the best playing I've ever heard from him (for reference, I've seen him about 7-8 times starting in '92). Quote
7/4 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Posted March 29, 2009 I've heard rumors that Pat and Charlie are planning a sequel to Missouri Sky. I hope they get around to that soon. me2. Quote

Though I have to say that the night I saw him on that tour, it was some of the best playing I've ever heard from him (for reference, I've seen him about 7-8 times starting in '92). That might be because John just keeps on getting better & better with age. At this rate , by the time Sco hits 60 no one will be able to listen to him ! He's already so freakin' good sometimes I have to turn off the music ... Edited March 29, 2009 by oneofanotherkind Quote
CJ Shearn Posted March 29, 2009 Report Posted March 29, 2009 John's playing in Trio Beyond was some of the best I've heard from him, definitely Quote
