Bassist

The guitar giant brings the latest version of his supercharged trio featuring bassist Vicente Archer and drummer Nasheet Waits.

In an extraordinary five-decade career marked by stylistic zigs and zags, Scofield has unquestionably earned his place in the pantheon of the greatest masters of the instrument. He has collaborated on era-defining recordings by Charles Mingus and Miles Davis and released over four-dozen albums that blend hard bop acuity with copious quantities of funk. As a bandleader, Scofield has often returned to the trio format as a perfect improvisational vehicle, establishing his first steady three-piece with bassist Steve Swallow and drummer Adam Nussbaum in the early 1980s. Loose-limbed virtuoso Bill Stewart replaced Nussbaum in the 1990s, recording the guitarist’s 1996 Verve debut Quiet and masterful 2004 live date EnRoute, culminating in 2020’s ECM release Swallow Tales.

John Scofield Trio

SFJAZZ Center

John Scofield has been playing the guitar since 1962. His influence in the music scene began in the mid-70’s and is going strong today. Possessor of a very distinctive sound and stylistic diversity, Scofield is a masterful jazz improviser whose music generally falls somewhere between post-bop, funk edged jazz, and R & B. He began his international career as a bandleader and recording artist in 1975. From 1982-1985, Scofield toured and recorded with Miles Davis.
