jlhoots Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I haven't purchased a Scofield CD in years. Maybe this'll be the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I've not bought any Sco lately but I'm a fan of the Sco/Lovano Blue Notes. I cant really see this one capturing the essence of the 90's band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwbol Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) ScoLoHoFo also had a different feel to it, but it was very good imo. Past Present will be different still. Edited August 14, 2015 by erwbol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant really see this one capturing the essence of the 90's band.I'm with you here, John. Last time I saw Lovano live he was awful. Not sure whether it was just a bad night or whether he's lost his mojo but I'll take a bit of convincing to buy anything new by him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwbol Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 When did you last see Lovano, Head Man? Folkart and Bird Songs are good recent albums. Think I'll put Folkart on now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Prompted by this topic I played ScoLoHoFo yesterday. I've never really taken to it I'm sorry to say, possibly because of its different feel. I saw Lovano's two drummer band a few years back. Lovano sounded fine with a massive sound but some of the impact was lost as the piano was badly miced or mixed. Still enjoy a lot of Sco's playing, mainly caught on dvd from European tv. Most of his recent albums have passed me by. II think with the BNs and Gramavisions I probably have the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HutchFan Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I thought that this 2007 Scofield record was absolutely brilliant: I'm looking forward to hearing the new Sco/Lovano collaboration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiRiIII Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I fully agree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milestones Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I really liked Scofield's live album En Route (2004). The recent A Moment's Peace did almost nothing for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I certainly can see how others might prefer the music "stripped down."You can get that same trio -- less the horns -- on En Route. I haven't gotten 'round to that one yet.

StarThrower Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I'll stick with the early 90s albums including Grace Under Pressure. I also think This Meets That is a great album. If you like En Route, check out the 1994 Blue Note gig on YouTube. It kills! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMkmbxwpco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danasgoodstuff Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 ScoLoHoFo nearly put me off all involved, I disliked it that much. YMMV, etc. Once upon a time I bought nearly everything Sco or JoLo did, but as Willies says, Time Changes Everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uli Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Probably haven't listened to this in twenty years or so but it's still enjoyable for menext up. i know i still like it because i listen to it once in a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xybert Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I haven't checked out much Scofield. Off the top of my head i've liked most of what i've heard but haven't caught the bug or felt compelled to really explore his discography. I like Blue Matter and Loud Jazz from the eighties with the usual disclaimer that i have a soft spot for eighties fusion. A Go Go with MMW was okay if a little corny for me. This Meets That might be the only other album of his that i've spent time with and i actually quite liked it. I had borrowed it and ripped a copy from the Library; actually wouldn't mind getting a hard copy of it at some point.Anyway, the new one, i wouldn't mind checking it out but i'm not rushing to the store.
