Sco is amazing. Really a unique player....and amazing! Hard to find your own unique voice on guitar or any instrument for that matter and Sco has done that!!
Some really good stuft f but at some point it honestly sounds like it could have been a sts hoax even though I don't believe it is. Really good overall but some really messed up parts too. Regards.
@ickefes Thats exactly whats nice about scofield, hes not that afraid of "messing up". Its really something to let go of that fear up to the point of "messing up" live, as you said. And, on top of that, when he lands a nasty note or something, hes comes back like a real motherfukin boss.
Yeah, Steve Swallow is a god. I've been tripping on him ever since I first saw him more than 20 years ago when he accompanied Carla Bley on David Sanborn's TV show. Wow. In fact, I think I have it somewhere on VHS tape.
Sco is the master. There's no one like him. But he's so subtle and deep that a lot of people don't "get" him. I used to get pissed at MMW fans when I would hear young idiots saying things like "why are they playing with that old guy." I'm sure MMW would be pissed too.
She is entranced and hypnotized by the music. We can see what she's doing...but she doesn't know what she is doing or where she is. She is blinded by the music and is in Heaven.
B: E7/9/13(+11) (E Myxo/Lyd.b7) C#m7 F#7 (C# Dorian-ii/V in B Maj) A 4-3 or G/A (A Myxo/G Lyd.),but @ 1:32 he plays A7+11(A Lyd.dom)or E Mel.minor, since it resolves back to G#m.
@egyptianminor I meant Abm7, since he plays Dorian based lines over it, implying this chord is a ii degree mode, hence from Gb Major/Ionian- I chord, hence more appropriate to refer to the G#m7 as Abm7
I don't know why people get the assumption that if somebody studies music that at that point music no longer becomes meaningful. It is a ridiculous assumption rooted in contempt. It would be like saying if I were to study auto mechanics I would no longer enjoy country drives on sunday afternoons.
>
I also don't know why talking about a songs musical fundimentals can be interprited as pseudo-intellectual dick-swagger. If people didn't study music today where would tomorrow's music come from?
Thanks for blowing the whistle on these guys who are too lazy to be bothered learning about the mechanics of music. These are the same guys who say if i understand what the notes are behind a chord or scale, it is "not playing from the heart".
sorry boys, that is lazy pure and simple. Claiming that someone is a pseudo-intellectual because they have some knowledge just holds us all back as musicians . WAKE UP
Can all of you losers stop talking about theory and what the fucks goin on!? Your probably those people who sit right in the front of a club and instead of listening you analyze everything, then after the show pester the musicians about their gear or what it was they were playing. Its assholes like you that treat Jazz as an intellectual biggest dick competition instead of art.

There used to be a "guitar play along' video for this song (album version) which had the bass line and guitar line animated on a blank screen. I can't find it now. Does anyone know the location of this or could someone repost it?

I don't know of any other song.composer that has so many "hooks". Sadly jazz today rarely has hooks, "jazz musicians" seem to have become overly white, overly academic who compose from the top down. while these compositions work, they have no organic character.
sorry for the post before i just read your other post and realize you don't listen to/appreciate jazz, so please disregard my posts as they don't apply to you. Have an awesome day and please no more comments on jazz videos, thanks
@fourfinger451 You don't need to apoligize for the before comment, if you had any decency you would for this one though. Do you think posting blanket assumptions proves yourself intellectually supierior to me? Do you think making hateful, know-it-all comments makes your argument about whether the song is G# or Ab look any less ridiculous?
@fourfinger451 gidolf was kindly correcting your mistake, his information is correct. what is the saying about no good deed going unpunished...The bridge is G# Lydian with G# minor pentatonic and some phrasing from F# Dorian.
sorry if this comes out bad or starts a stupid music war, but I'm in deep rage right now
THE BRIDGE IS NOT IN G# LYDIAN i don't know where your reading these charts from, but i am actually using my EARS, in any case the bridge is largely atonal but does indeed turn back to Ab Dorian (its in Ab definitely not in G#), its not sub but i see how it could be analyzed as on as sco does use the #11 from ALTERED in his solo, please as i try to tell my student USE YOUR EARS!!!!!
@fourfinger451 Well, as a matter of fact, I do. But thanks for your initial posting of the pitches (I hope that's the correct term in English - what I mean are the references to the parent scale in Roman numerals).

I heard them last night. Such a tight band, such an a mazing guitar player. Only an hour-long set but one of the best gigs of my life. THX JS, SS, BS!!
This is great music but I dont understand why this guys fans were hating on jojo mayer and johnny rabb... i mean, they weren't even doing jazz, they were doing breaks & dnb groves?
@firedancerart still, this is refreshing. Scofield plays this style well even without an organ backing him up, his sound his so full it sounds more than a trio... It's nice there's more than one version for this number.
@Holycrap27 I like to think that those who enjoy Sco's music or are influnced by him in their playing are "musically intellectual". Clearly you are not one of these people. Sco's tone has a bite unlike any other, and obviously you can't handle it. So go back to listening to smooth jazz while you pee sitting down.
The Scho man is a revolutionary. He slaps mainstream music in the face and dares to redefine all genres that pigeonhole what is "normal" in the world of music. I saw this guy at the 2009 Jazzfest in NOLA; what a fucking show! I missed out on a lot of great playing over the years, but not anymore.
You know...this is the kind of groove and feel that makes pregnant mothers go into labor early. I mean you have Scofield the baddest bebop/soul/funk guitarist with his odd timing, Bill Stewart is so sick he sounds like he is playing notes...and Steve Swallow is showing bass players that how you hold down the low end...
Steve swallow, tha bassist, used to play upright when he was younger... why he play now with a pick?? its some physical problem with his hand?? he is like...70 now
He just preferred electric I guess. No physical problems with upright. He uses a pick also out of preference. It gets him close to an upright tone with an electric bass.
It's a semi-hollow, so if your drive is on, your aamp is tilted in a certain way and you're too close to it (as it seems to be the case for Sco here) you should expect some feedback...By the way, where's Part 4 of this DVD?
Sei que toda comparação é perigosa, principalmente em se tratando de músicos. Indago a mim mesmo quem seria melhor músico, PAT METHENY ou JOHN SCOFIELD. Evidente que cada um tem sua linguagem musical própria, além de bagagem individual, enfim, estilos diferentes. Sou fá incondicional do Pat, mas em um vídeo onde os dois tocam juntos, fiquei impressionado com o fraseado do SCO, realmente, tocando como professor. Ele é incrível.
Eh? Are those feedback noises? I never thought an ibanez of that class still prone to this kind of feedback! Nevertheless, sco handled that reallly well!!!
I think that phantom 'wooooo' feedback adds to his overall character and when he rakes that arpeggio 1:49 it creeps in as if its answering his phrase, Scofield wins
hey, anything is more original than White311. So you picked a color and three numbers that 3 billion people use in that same order. Sorry to take a shizzle over this but introspection is a hefty tool in seeing the bullshit before it comes out on the computer screen. I'm a master of originality, don't you jive talk me like it's worth anything ...you did hurt my feelings a little bit thought.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
one curious thing about sco's sound is that it sucks when heard alone, but mixes perfectly with the other instrument (especially brasses: try to listen to Scofield-Lovano-Holland-Foster group)
I used to play with Bill Stewart when he was just out of high school in Des Moines Iowa, 1985. He also played in top 40 bands around town at that time. Ironically, we were covering Scofield and Metheny tunes in that band.
I like to feel sexy....knowing someone is watching me ..wanting me...turns me on!BADLY!

Ok, is Scofield´s band and he is a guitar player, but it´s almost a guitar/drum jam. When john is soloing is difficult to recognise the baseline/harmony behind
Swallow's bass sound is very low [frequency] - all the detail is way down there, not up high like an acoustic bass or a more traditional electric sound; trust me, it's a h u g e bass sound if you can reproduce it!
As someone's said, the blend between Sco and Swallow when Swallow goes up high is so complementary, it does sound like one incredible big guitar
That's why he's such a good Bass player for this group. He blends so well with Sco's playing, anchors the groove and gives Bill and Sco heaps of room to interact.
Cymbals - Main Ride - K Custom Dry Complex Ride 22" (Med Thin)
The rest are all zildjian prototypes. And even the regular zildjians will sound different than the ones for sale because Bill hammers his cymbals even more after he gets them.
The drums are gretsch (not sure which series - probably usa custom)
great playing

Sou fá incondicional do Pat, mas em um vídeo onde os dois tocam juntos, fiquei impressionado com o fraseado do SCO, realmente, tocando como professor. Ele é incrível.

Great video! Thanks for sharing this...
Eh? Are those feedback noises? I never thought an ibanez of that class still prone to this kind of feedback! Nevertheless, sco handled that reallly well!!!

i was wondering about the same thing, are they feedback noises?
ziajek00 3 years ago
I think that phantom 'wooooo' feedback adds to his overall character and when he rakes that arpeggio 1:49 it creeps in as if its answering his phrase, Scofield wins

good call but shitty screen name,.. be more original thats like sooo 2003...
White311 3 years ago
hey, anything is more original than White311. So you picked a color and three numbers that 3 billion people use in that same order. Sorry to take a shizzle over this but introspection is a hefty tool in seeing the bullshit before it comes out on the computer screen. I'm a master of originality, don't you jive talk me like it's worth anything ...you did hurt my feelings a little bit thought.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
one curious thing about sco's sound is that it sucks when heard alone, but mixes perfectly with the other instrument (especially brasses: try to listen to Scofield-Lovano-Holland-Foster group)

So much better than the album version! I wish he would have cut lose on the A Go Go album a little more.

I used to play with Bill Stewart when he was just out of high school in Des Moines Iowa, 1985. He also played in top 40 bands around town at that time. Ironically, we were covering Scofield and Metheny tunes in that band.

I like it very much. The bass and drums line sounds a little bit like Samba or Bossa Nova to me. Very nice.
eniltonbs 3 years ago
the bass dont have presence.
Ok, is Scofield´s band and he is a guitar player, but it´s almost a guitar/drum jam. When john is soloing is difficult to recognise the baseline/harmony behind

What would you prefer? Learn to listen? Turn up your volume? I can hear it fine... but I guess it's my spider senses.

Turn up the bass! This is music coming from the African-American tradition!

Swallow's bass sound is very low [frequency] - all the detail is way down there, not up high like an acoustic bass or a more traditional electric sound; trust me, it's a h u g e bass sound if you can reproduce it!
As someone's said, the blend between Sco and Swallow when Swallow goes up high is so complementary, it does sound like one incredible big guitar
jongell 3 years ago
That's why he's such a good Bass player for this group. He blends so well with Sco's playing, anchors the groove and gives Bill and Sco heaps of room to interact.
Brilliant musicianship all round!!

anyone know what kit/cymbals hes using?
preferably cymbals :D
DrummerInExile 3 years ago
Cymbals - Main Ride - K Custom Dry Complex Ride 22" (Med Thin)
The rest are all zildjian prototypes. And even the regular zildjians will sound different than the ones for sale because Bill hammers his cymbals even more after he gets them.
The drums are gretsch (not sure which series - probably usa custom)
His snare is a ludwig bronze hammered 6.5x14
