John Scofield Performs 'Quiet And Loud Jazz'

[@lonesurvivor9876]

Respect and Love from Darjeeling, India 🙏

[@richstewart9904]

I remember seeing him play at the Blackstone theater in Chicago in 1991. I was so close I could reach out and grab his arm. I had no idea how lucky I was to see him and other greats close up for years. I remember talking to Horace Silver after his set at the same place. Also saw Joe Pass at the same place multiple times and sat a few feet away from him. John was an amazing player back then. I could only imagine seeing him up close now.

[@sasha_prisyazhnyy]

I missed having new performances from the group of John Scofield, Dennis Chambers, Jim Beard and Gary Granger so bad. It is a blessing seeing them live again!

[@webstercat]

Bill Stewart makes it work, swings like crazy just enough salt to bring out the taste! Such an Excellent drummer!

[@1persme1persme-it36]

Mr. Scofield presents him as Dennis Chambers .... i know i'm a pedant

[@lanszoominternet]

Love the guy with the brown shirt, red tie and brown beret sitting right behind Sco. Sits like a Buddha and the you never know what instrument he will pull out. Flute, sax, clarinet.what an awesome musician!

[@RieksSchreuder]

That is the Great Jo Lovano silly!

[@RieksSchreuder]

Joe Lovano, sorry

[@tadhgokeeffe2127]

Just... wonderful. 'Quiet' is such a great record and this sent me back to it, to bask in it again. 'Hand Jive' remains my favourite Sco album. Food for the soul. 275 people gave this a thumbs-down - I bet they think climate change is a hoax too

[@blies4492]

Such mastery of phrasing and making Jazz sound funky and bluesy.

[@KarlGeorges]

Scofield's the reason I don't mind getting old and bald.

[@guybuddy1]

well, if your face is over average and well groomed, girls don't seem to mind balding men. if you're ugly, you're shit outa luck, girls don't like you regardless if you have hair or not. lol

[@jamesmcclellanddafoe5184]

Ha! That joke made my day, thanks

[@wiraramadhan2227]

And still looking cool and fine (?)

[@wiraramadhan2227]

But are you saying you okay looking like colonel Sanders ?

[@Happy-Me.]

He's the reason why I still play and love the Guitar.

[@c.h.gamble2279]

Mahavishnu Orchestra was my all time favorite fusion band......then years later Sco, Dennis, Gary & Jim came along just to remind me that....that kind of spirit is Eternal. Well played fellas.

[@c.h.gamble2279]

I was just making the point of Sco & Co. playing with that kind spirit, I saw MO play live twice....first in Indiana and I got to spend the whole day with the band and second was at the ROXY in Hollywood in'73. Of course NOTHING compares to them ........my friend.

[@phreddieboy5774]

I was Sco's driver for the Wreckhouse Jazz Festival in St. John's Newfoundland Canada July 11th, 2013. I told him that I loved Loud Jazz and he told me that same story about how his daughter had named Loud Jazz after he and others were drawing a bit of a blank on what to name it! Very cool and gracious man and band, and what a show. Backstage pass from being a volunteer... ;)

[@moebadi320]

yeah, he told me that too! ;)

[@albuerneysilva2557]

July 11th..my birthday. LOL

[@cleverclover7]

An absolute master at phrasing and telling a story with creative melody and zero noise.

[@christopherkenniff1733]

TOOOOOOOO GOOOOOD! love Quiet, the album. Compositions are beautiful, choice of instrumentation so colorful, players all great, and Sco is such a distinctive artist and guitar player. This whole show is just such a pleasure.. Love, love, love it. I do miss the nylon string sound/color every now and then ( e.g., on Tulle ). Thanks, Sco and band, great show!!!

[@agungwayne3090]

Absolute legend.

[@AlexPriceMusician]

Incredible band and music, yeah but gosh the sound - the mix is incredible. This might be the best live-jazz recording I've ever heard.

[@chriskapitz9816]

I'm with you.

[@Damonm68]

Dennis has mellowed out over the years, but still has that unmistakable feel. One of my favorites.

[@cerimccoy]

Sco is an absolute gem of a composer. Sure he can play but his writing! Zillions of stars.👏👏👏👏👐👐👏👐👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👐👐👐👏👏👐👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@CharlieMorenoMusic]

Gary Grainger is one of my all time favorite bass players. He had a huge impact on my playing as a kid. And he's still killing it!!! What a beast. And the tunes are great, and the band is one of the tightest groups of people making music together I ever heard. I love Sco!

[@armenboy1der]

When I lived in DC and Baltimore, I'd see both Gary and his brother Greg, a fine drummer. They'd play a lot with an excellent Baltimore guitarist, Carl Filipiak (as would Dennis Chambers)

[@johanponin1360]

and chambers is back in full effect

[@jazzatnight]

One of my favorite bassists also, I first heard him in a group called Pockets, produced by Verdine White.

[@VojtechRozsival]

@@johanponin1360 I remember him playing way more interesting. Seems he just holds the tempo here. Part with Bill Stewart is way more interesting at least from drummer's perspective. I mean Chambers is tight AF. His pocket is one of the finest around (and with Gary Granger it is incredibly powerful combo). But it lack some energy I am used to hear from him. For example in John McLaughlin's The Heart of Things or Niacin... (he uses the middle floortom only as a table for metronome, the third FT is there just for an impression....) Every time I see him for last 10 years or so he seems rather bored... When he was with Sco in Czech republic couple years ago, they had no encore, because he clearly visibly disagreed that...

[@lennyharp]

I love good jazz such as any rock or spiritual music. It is a blend of music's best natured sounds. John Schofield is new to me and a great sound. When awarded a prize for finishing The Arizona Challenge about 1985 I was awarded tickets for 2 to a Phoenix Jazz club. I was known to be a music lover. I play harmonica and sing rock, folk and jazz music whenever given an audience.

[@paulmichaelsmith3207]

So unique, Sco's impossible to imitate.

[@jonathanstewart5269]

Bill Stewart and Larry Grenadier are such a classy, swinging rhythm section. Gives the band a bit of a Miles/Gil vibe, especially with the unusual instrumentation. And Sco's touch and delivery is so developed and original. Beautiful.

[@mikey6452]

Agree. Really admire Bill Stewart's touch and musicality. So deft. So original. Always finds an unusual color that adds musical value while NEVER losing the swing. Super gifted drummer. For anyone who doesn't know, he's a monster with Larry Goldings and Peter Bernstein.

[@wheels845]

That made my day! TY John and band for beautiful flow of music. Ear candy for sure.❤️✌️🙏🏼

[@charlesweeks5027]

What i like ? No stupid egos , all relax men enjoying life and their gift for humanity , why can't the 🌎 work like they in harmony.

[@mangolassi_.]

Sweet, Sco playing his 80s stuff again! This literally comes out of nowhere for me, I never thought we would see this happen.

[@triggSerable]

I was at a gig in July with the überjam band, and suddenly they played blue matter at the end. Fantastic! And as much as i love andy hess, in this particular discipline he does not reach the heights of Gary Granger :)

[@msticdrumr]

John is one of my favorite "Git Fiddle" cats!!! Outstanding player and composer on a variety of styles...Awesome Sauce!!!!

[@jdpower6360]

This is an audio and video treasure for jazz and especially Sco fans. Thanks!

[@desirecandon5789]

Un pur bonheur ce concert de John Scofield que je suis depuis 1982.Fan de la première heure et toujours aussi passionné.

[@jbnitpou9942]

Je suis tellement d’accord avec vous ..... J’ai 60 ans cette année et j’ai découvert Sco à l’époque du World tour avec Billy Cobham et le si regretté Georges Duke. Pppffff. Que de bons souvenirs tout ça ....

[@dlivelyb]

I always loved Rolf and the Gang and the Quiet album in general. The horn section arrangements, with ‘moving dissonance’ and the way they would build front to back, with bass and drums holding down the framework, the swing that is provided by Stewart and Grenadier here (with the latter was better miked). So really great to see and hear Quiet again.

[@ThrashRoC]

John Scofield is one of my great idols in Jazz... Damm Cool Player ...

[@porkerpinch]

I have seen gary play a lot over the years, and that is easily the most I have ever seen him "sweat." What a great band. Thanks to John for giving us all such a treat. I wish he would play some of those tunes more often in other settings.

[@amsedelm]

I took a guitar lesson from Jon back in '80 (?) in the village in NYC. We ended up just trading solos. He was so much fun., really listened and reacted to your playing. I almost forgot to pay him when the lesson was over. lol I loved his playing on the Billy Cobham solo albums and ESPECIALLY the Cobham/Duke Project live album. That one is one of my all time fav albums hands down.

[@jongell]

FANTASTIC to hear material from Quiet played out after so long! A really underrated record - brilliant writing.

[@marcellorepici7268]

Agree it one of his best

[@wackenthaljef]

Imagine how much gig he already did....! waoow! The best jazz guitarist for me.

[@JordanHigginsGuitar]

Would love to see John Scofield doing this with his A Go Go album with MMW too. Iconic and essential Jazz/Funk album.

[@nopopolasturber]

big up for having this available in quality for all of us to see

[@riveravaldez]

Robert Duvall. Amazing guitar player.

[@ismaelpessanhasilva9553]

What compositions are these my God are incredible !!! The scofild of the instrumentation is amazing what sonority !!! Only incredible musicians !!!

[@FooTracks]

Scofield's style is unmistakable. It's like McCoy Tyner's, in a way. It sounds simple, as though you can easily break it down... but no one can really sound like him!

[@ulusot]

I like Bill Stewart's approach, technique and feel!

[@intuneorange]

Poor Bill Stewart if he's not playing with Sco or Pat he is stuck playing with Pete Bernstein what does that tell you.

[@wyrdstone85]

Walter T. carpenter - that he's not too bad behind them traps?

[@intuneorange]

The best guitar players want to work with Bill Stewart. I think Mr.Bill Stewart is the perfect kind of drummer!

[@youmothershouldknow4905]

ulusot the man has flow-something few drummers have

[@gamcghie]

Great Lines. I heard this back in the mid seventies. It really sounds good now.

[@FelixDegenaar]

Jim Beard. What a FREEKING genius this man is. Never received the accolades he deserves.

[@mikey6452]

Yes. Totally agree about his talent. Just listen to his solo on "Dance Me Home." Confident. Understated. But SO lively and fresh. You can see Gary Grainger digging deeper into his groove as JB throws off one great line after another. Just great. Makes wonder how Cory Henry and he would get along...?

[@ManuelBelli]

Amazing, great band, great reunion, great concert. Greetings from Italy John

[@PilferMusic]

31:26 First time I got to see John Scofield live was when he played Loud Jazz in Vancouver at the Commodore Ballroom supporting this 1988 album Loud Jazz...

[@esz-tamquartetdemo8938]

= pleasure...thanks

[@Zirc0nium69]

At first i was kind of bored and thought its regular smooth jazz stuff but then i started noticing the composition and boy is it good.

[@triggSerable]

"Trim" never particularly stood out for me from the blue matter band but this version is just magic! The rest too. Fantastic!

[@brunomaiamusic]

1:25 to J. Scoffield: I read an article about 30 years ago when I remember you telling this story about your daughter stepping into the middle of a rehearsal and you asked like "What do you think?" and she answered like " it sounds like loud jazz !" Amazing that you are telling this story after about 3 decades, I so relate to it.

[@hypno59]

So, so beautiful!!

[@jorgetenamusic]

What a group of musicians!!!! Sco's music is amazing. Thanks so much for sharing it, how I wish I was there. LOVE IT!!!

[@yongcipres]

Thanks for posting this. I love Scofield music.

[@Obrad1961]

This is so inspirations rhitms and sound melody for me I enjoy in this fantastic feelings music ...

[@clickshak]

I first saw Sco play almost in that same location in Columbus Circle back in the mid 80's at the New York Coliseum. That venue had been used for large trade shows and events. The decor was not at all fancy and polished like Dizzy's but I will forever remember the feelings I had after the solos and the band rounded home on Loud Jazz.

[@Jupitermoon1]

amazing! thank you also for the great concert in braunschweig couple of years ago! lovely greets! :)

[@TONIKOBLER]

GREAT solos thanks and supper orquestration

[@bruhdamartinasty3636]

I don't know what's better. The music or that view! Where is that? Jesus.

[@paul-singhgurth1599]

I got Still Warm when it came out on cassette. I think I was 16 or 17. It was my first exposure to that edgy, bop inspired jazz. One of my biggest influences on my playing and writing to this day. This is a killer performance! Everyone is killing!

[@martinrockport2485]

What an awesome show... particularly the 'Loud' part of the gig (as those were the tunes that introduced me to John Scofield for the first time). Understandably not quite as crisp as they were back in the day but nevertheless, a fabulous reunion of a superb fusion band, still able to knock those compositions out. And what an incredible venue.

[@Smokosfunktime]

Yep

[@shastakeys]

Yes, not as crisp, but at the end starting around 56.00 on the vamping section Sco is getting into his old form and start spinning (this is a compliment) these cool lines he used to do during the original records and also during his stint in Miles Davis' Band. Gary Grainer is so into it too...fun to see...

[@augustepiccard1985]

love the way he thanks with the guitar at 13:00 ,thanks for sharing!!

[@miles-178]

i love how dennis could have played it fastly and furiously but he stayed down to earth ... it must be tought to stay almost at meditation´s state of mind .... love it a lot !!!!!!

[@νικοςνικολαου-τ9φ]

Unfortunately,I wasn't among the lucky audience so,thanx to you and U-Tube for giving me the privilege to watch and listen!

[@62426637]

Bill & Joe were part of the quartet I saw in Poland in 1992 ans 1993--when they were the best band around!

[@tomkubin1]

thank you thank you thank you sco the two bands are a amazing

[@evandrobotti865]

Great quality!

[@josefernando5201]

excelente grupo de jazz, muy buen swing. saludos desde pereira, colombia.

[@falsenotefest]

Awesome prestations, ones of the best !!!!!!! Here a little OUPS !!!!! I love that !! Thanks. 6:18

[@Hal-li9qu]

Hahah was looking for this comment, also 24:34 the horn section ; D

[@gerriepieters9033]

I love the duet lp with Pat Metheny.."I see your house from here"...what a great performing both guitar giants..and...Pat with his "Bright Size Life lp...and john with "Rough House lp"..waauuww

[@waytoomanyguitars]

Scofield, Metheny and Kurt Rosenwinkel...I could listen to them all day, every day!

[@catboyzee]

Starting at around 28:58: Sco talks about the 30 year lapse since he had the Grainger-Chambers band, and compares it with 30 year time distance between the Benny Goodman era and when he first got into playing Jazz. I find that analogy to be quite fascinating. A lot can change in three decades, a lot can stay the same.

[@David-ni5tr]

This is the first time I heard John play acostic guitar! It was so beautiful! Damn,I addicted.

[@Waldvogel45]

John shows us how to stay young. What a creator !! ; love the Hendrix quote which is nice.Proud to have seen him several times in Europe, last was Montreux.Time ? Bring it on, I'll keep playing with him in mind. And BEYOND.Thanks J S

[@Handrews20]

love it too too much !!! My God. Thanx a lot

[@markwilliams9969]

Thanks, John. It's always a pleasure, since I Haven't actually got to see you live in quite a while. Peace & blessings.

[@sognostupido]

To watch such a skilful and experienced band is a real joy. Thanks for sharing this concert.

[@colinthorn]

OMG what a treat! Really well recorded too ...

[@Hermes1548]

The orchestra and the soloist. It is like a Piano Concerto. This could be defined as a Guitar Concerto, with obligato Drums.

[@het_gele_teken]

Wow, a reunion of the Blue Matter band! John's most interesting music period IMO.

[@Pladderkasse]

However much I love this period, I'm still happy that he moved on. He could have stayed in that groove and made lots of money. But he moved on. Quiet, Überjam and the stuff he did with Medeski, Martin and Wood, would never had happened. That would be a damn shame.

[@doca9357]

saw John on the Blue Matter album with that band when it came out, amazing show, small venue, what a treat, amazing players

[@damovanb]

awesome rhythm section of DC and GG, the brothers are layin' it down.....

[@mslgrupo]

15:40 Tulle, wonderful!!!!Sco Master!!!!❤

[@bvs5164]

Just discovered these guys...trying to find my jazz listening lane, this is outstanding!

[@chazjr2390]

I can listen to this all day!

[@kay4x4]

Jazz that's just on the limit of what i can follow and understand, nice.

[@truthlivingetc88]

this is the happiest I have ever seen John. G+d Bless.

[@cassiotiso]

É a gente sai flutuando..........dentro de uma incrível trilha sonora

[@augustofelizolagarcez6376]

thank you for sharing, great music !

[@DrRetro11]

Nice to see larry grenadier on the bass. I really enjoy his playing.

[@pangpang2258]

I wish my bass sound just like his.. But my playing skill won't take me anywhere! ha ha.

[@emanuelealdini450]

Phoebus-Delatte his name is Gary 😉

[@emanuelealdini450]

Phoebus-Delatte sorry maybe you talk about the first set

[@УРОКИГИТАРЫИУКУЛЕЛЕ]

Great jazz... His guitar sound love##############

[@pitt6766]

what a band and after so many years listening to Johns style definate influence to many, one of the worlds greats, well all of them are

[@TheJazzSphere]

Thank you. "Quiet" is one of my Sco Favs. A rare gem.

[@Hermes1548]

Sco is our modern Jazz. Long Live Sco.

[@michaelscott1199]

Amazing. This was my favourite Sco. I was just listening to the vinyl "Still Warm" and then this came up on my utoob as I was scrolling through channels.

[@fonduemotz]

Loud jazz , One of my favorite albums,it so nice to hear these guys play it with a few more years Behind them, they’re all little more in the pocket still blows me away that Dennis Chambers doesn’t read music just feeling the groove

[@andrejorlov1561]

John is a legend !

[@martingjsmith]

Wonderful in every way!!

[@joedavis6160]

Joe Davis (mojo music school) Listened a lot of guitarists from Hendrix to Joe Pass and just love John's playing the best, even when he plays on the outside you just about don't realize it cos he's so lyrical, and they way it cranks it up is just marvelous, the best!

[@atquinn1975]

Haven't listened to the Quiet album in years, but I remembered every one of the songs he played here. They sound much better to me with him on electric as that's the instrument that best allows his musical personality to come through IMO. Great stuff!
