John Scofield and Larry Grenadier Duo Performance at Fisherman's Ball 2020 (Part 1)

John Scofield and Larry Grenadier perform at the Fishermen's Ball 2020.

[@danhope77]

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

[@mccarthyblades2794]

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....

[@deg3467]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@LorenzoVenza]

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

[@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.

[@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.

@@adam_deascentis 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?

[@MrPrandall24]

two giants! two of the greatest to ever do it.

[@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!

[@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.

[@ExiledEZ1]

I just saw a guy sayin' bending strings in "Jazz" guitar playing is "not" Jazz guitar!!! You just prove this kind of thinking wrong! Thank you Sir, you are so good...

[@adamrafferty]

Is that first tune "Old Man RIver" ?

[@arturocid2226]

Yes

[@Strikerzification]

I feel like the sound recording isn't what it is supposed to be? Still an amazing performance anyway!

[@catboyzee]

What is the name of the first tune? It sounds very familiar, just can't remember the title.

Of course

[@Eeearthmusic]

I bet ole Spence had a hand in this

[@gregormarini]

Outstanding performance but ... the bass is mixed too loud!

[@javaclouds8017]

The bass so much percussive...to much aggressive the attack...far away from be subtle. Scofield...OMG...exquisite improvisation

[@tilmanoberbeck3481]

I think the bass is recorded twice through the bass mic and the mic in front of the guitar amp so you have two attacs slightly displaced. That’s why it sounds a bit noisy..

[@deja75m]

Not good...until scofield stops reading like a freakin robot...

[@jazzman1954]

Nice bass player. Not keen on Scofield. Sorry.
