Finally on Blu Ray! John Scofield is considered one of the most important and influential jazz guitarists and composers since he arrived on the scene in the mid seventies. A masterful improviser at the peak of his creative art, Scofield revisits today compositions & interpretations richly combining post-bop, funk edged jazz, and R&B influences. The New Morning is deeply honored to welcome this 2010 performance by John Scofield (backed by master drummer Bill Stewart, bassist Ben Street and pianist Michael Eckroth) to its series of DVDs dedicated to the great musicians of the Sons of Miles generation. A veteran alum, John toured & recorded with Miles for nearly four years in the eighties. - Daniel Farhi

Great players, great venue
Typical Sco jazz combo. Bill Stewart is always a treat to hear and see play. Wish it loaded the top menu by default instead of immediately plaing the concert, but that's a minor complaint.

A mix of maturity and extensive domain of the instrument
I am follower of Mr Scofield's music and his sideman incursions from the late 70s. This is what I would call "a jazz fusion masterpiece" where the interpretation of the std "My foolish heart" deserves special attention for the arrangement based on mostly in a temperate melody line than that of an intricate harmony and chord progressions tipically seen in the majority of the modern jazz guitarrists. For those who loves jazz guitar and as I do, enjoy the once in a while, "ins" and "outs" of key incursions, that makes Mr. Scofield himself one of his distinctive trademarks as guitar interpreter, I strongly recommend this blueray. It pays back.

Great Musicianship
This is a great video. Very well recorded. You always expect Scofield to sound great and he certainly does on this with his original style. He's just a beautiful musician. The group plays together well listening to and complimenting each other in the deepest way and it's obvious that they're serving the music. A perfect musical conversation by four great musicians.

Awesome!
Having only recently (in the last three or four years) been "turned on" to JS and having bought this blu ray on the strength of what I had previously heard, I was blown away with this Paris concert. The man is one of the finest guitarists out there and is at the absolute top of his game here. His band ( drums, double bass and keyboards) are all consumate musicians and fantastically tight. The quality of the sound and picture are fittingly excellent. I would say that most of the music on this disc is slightly more accessible than some of his more avant garde stuff and anybody with a love of blues and jazz is in for a real treat if they buy this. In a word AWSOME!
