Martino,Scofield & DeFrancesco - SUNNY [High Quality]

[2mdallas]

not on youtube enough yet to pick ut regulars or get more familiar with finding/organizing ... but looking at some of the recent listening lists below ... if you liked sco on this recording I think you might like Jerry Hahn a lot ... he's on here just a little harder to find ... "stolen moments" is good stuff ... if you have some suggestions along that line would really like to hear ...

[2mdallas]

oops ... corrected ... guess the credit for the "in here / totally out" was wrongly given to belli ... should have gone to skeptic ... still great line !

[2mdallas]

@belli "..in here/totally out" (that was a good line) ... I liked the difference in languages and structures ... by 2nd pass Martino is into a theme that climbs steady to that insane 3 note run over the last 2 passes. Sco builds with a lot more peaks/valleys but thought he had very fluid line for 32 bars setting up his last 2 passes. And then Joey D's last & those really fat chords (don't even go there) ... guess thats why they make chocolate & vanilla?... bet you don't agree .... huh?

Sorry guys, you´re missing the point. I love Pat Martino, but dont say nonsense. I love Martino time, fluidity, phrasing, but Scofield burns, he is a instant creator. Don´t compare two diferent and great musicians. That´s for football....

[Skepticalnature]

@bellibelli Scofield's lines are "out there" and have tension,no question about that.But his stamina for long lines is severely lacking,and his fluidity is pale in comparison to Pat.Not too mention that i personally find his tone extremely annoying.I think overall Pat has a more interesting and melodic vocabulary..Besides,"out there" has its context.And "in here' it sounds totally "out"

[bellibelli]

i find it strange that many people are saying that scofield sounds 'just alright'. his solos (especially here) are so out there and build such tension they drive me insane! now obviously, if being a good musician is sounding like everyone else, then i must've been getting it all wrong.

[Skepticalnature]

Poor John- He is not a bad player,and he is trying really hard,but what the hell is doing up there? He is nowhere neeeeeaaaar the level of Martino.

[2mdallas]

@Skepticalnature ... Martino has some of the most interesting solo structures ever ... he was said to have all his chops fully developed very soon after starting the guitar and young (maybe 12-15) ...as for Sco ... used to not be a fan, just wasn't into outside... after getting more familiar with his vocab/structure I've developed new appreciation ... martino is genius stuff though even after his stroke

[2mdallas]

Plays like this and had to learn how TWICE !! ... sure do wish he would come to Dallas ...

who's playing bass on this?

[TheCamManCan75]

@rainbowkeys711 Joey DeFrancecso

[rainbowkeys711]

@TheCamManCan75

so that's all foot pedal work-------wow, incredible. What a tremendous player he is.

Thanks for responding.

[poyete]

@rainbowkeys711 not only the pedal, if you see his left hand, he's doing the bass with it.

[pianofry]

@rainbowkeys711 Joey, with his left hand and pedals.

John scofield sound is terrible. what amp is he playing through It sound almost if he is playing a cheap guitar or a synthe guitar

[mustard87]

@foxybrown2 Some of it is the quality of the recording, but most of that tone is exactly what Sco wants and I love it. It's very vocal and horn-like, incredibly thick and full. Check out some other sco videos or albums to get the full idea. Very unique for sure!

[2mdallas]

@foxybrown2 ... interesting the 2 sounds & styles ... I like the differences ... Martino being inside and moving outside only in part sounds great with the warm tone ... I like the processed sound for Sco especially as far outside as he plays ... while I've heard Martino thru a synth I like him with this warmer tone ... Jerry Hahn is one of the really outside players that I like with a clean tone ...
