He is the best of our current jazz guitarist.. He has the technipue and he palys what he hears and breaks orthodoxies.

[@MethenySco]

Scofield is fantastic here...He gets so many sounds....

[@grahamt33]

I swear Sco is now, in old age, playing as good as he did at his greatest in the 80's. Marvellous !

[@Fuzreads]

Oh please, he has reached musician nirvana. Dudes has surpassed music and is now sound itself

[@borgassi]

Sco is playing waaaaay better than in the 80s. Saw him live last month. Sco keeps getting better and better

[@grahamt33]

@@borgassi I have already agreed with you, 7 months ago Juan !

[@toktok60]

He ages like wine, although I prefer his 90s stuff rather than 80s.

[@Huntington2012ify]

He sure is miles away from the days he played with Miles Davis . He matured extremely well since those days with Miles and is playing better than ever. Love his big thumb Wes Montogomery-inspired licks, which is not so evident in this recording. But again, most of the 1970s Jazz guitar Alumini from Berklee School of Music in Boston (nowadays known as The New England Conservatory of Music) such as Bill Frisell, Al DeMeola, Mick Goodrick, Emily Remler and Berklee music teacher Pat Metheny were heavily influenced by Wes Montgomery. Heck, more recently. the new wonder kid of Jazz guitar Julian Lage taught music at The New England Conservatoty of Music.

[@danhope77]

John's look, hairstyle and dress code has improved hugely since the 80s. Fine playing as always

[@dominiquemiletti6685]

Sco, the king of the sticky touch! My hero, bravo!

[@studioheathco]

What is “sticky touch”? I feel like I love this phrase. Anything to do with his laidback, behind the beat feel?

[@dominiquemiletti6685]

Exactly, his playing very laidback reminds me of something very sticky( I am the owner of this expression: nice isn’t it? )

[@studioheathco]

@@dominiquemiletti6685 Love it. You coined it. It's on the rest of us to use that phrase widely!

[@displaychicken]

@@dominiquemiletti6685 Do I have to send you 5 cents every time I say “sticky touch”? If so you’ll be rich soon!

[@dominiquemiletti6685]

@@displaychicken Oups... misunderstanding, I was trying a kind of joke... use it if you agree with this expression... The important thing is that I love john’s playing.

[@jimSTRATemblin]

The best I’ve heard in years.

[@deg3467]

Wow. Just wow. These guys are just incredible together.

[@southsidejohnny5624]

Aw man, I just felt all the tension in my mind and body float away while listening to these two absolute magicians/therapists. Thanks for posting.

[@robinmolin]

I always love to hear Larry in a duo setting with other great players. Thanks so much for this! This is one of the things that is good with the internet.

[@adamdmusicc]

Agreed! What are your other favorites of such?

[@robinmolin]

@@adamdmusicc there is a clip on youtube with pat metheny and Larry performing Charlie Hadens Waltz for Ruth. Thats a good one. I dont know of any albums with Larry in duos though. Do yo?

[@LorenzoVenza]

Oh my gosh: Sco in a state of grace...what a performance!

[@stefanoparenzan4877]

Glad to join your comments, mates (first time ever). Literally brought to tears by these two guys I had the honour to meet when they held gigs in my hometown (Arona, Italy) respectively, 1996 (Scofield) and 2003 (Granadier, with Brad Melhdau trio). In my personal opinion, when you play duos it's because you're at the very core of the musical matter. 'Chapeau' to both o'them.

[@themusiccovenant]

Gods of music

[@jenniferbellis1954]

Grandmasters of jazz ! Love the Scofield-sound.

[@DirkSnyder]

Such a wonderful duo playing these standards...great sound, interpretion and improvisation love this...thanks for doing this and posting for us to enjoy....

[@Sean____.]

[@michaelechteld]

Just wonderful.

[@paolomessinajazz5575]

Yeah, really beatiful, John your sound is wonderful, really beatiful also the double bass sound, thanks a lot for these songs, Regards by Paolo from Milano Italy

[@BeachJazzMusic]

Brillant!

[@klaustoth6982]

you can see that they're relaxed and ready to play when they have taken off their shoes.

[@mrblank-zh1xy]

That's how you practice at home. Also your feet get hot. Only classical guitarists practice with shoes on.

[@mrblank-zh1xy]

The Music appeared here, for a magic moment in time. John calls it out at 4:22.

[@ScottGilliamGuitar]

[@jazzercaster4749]

This is so great, btw anyone know what that big unit sitting on top of Scos deluxe is?

[@guatemala3d]

thats an Universal Audio OX

[@edwardjons8684]

The OX is a load box and attenuator - allows you to crank a tube amp to overdrive without going earshatteringly loud. A Fender tube amp in this situation would either be way too loud or just sound thin and crappy at this low volume. The OX fixes that problem.

[@jimSTRATemblin]

@@edwardjons8684 that’s what Van Halen used and made hip.
