[@robertnobody]

Nice to see Tal back on Bass again....!!

[@fastinbulvis2223]

Agreed! Been awhile since I've seen or heard anything from her.

[@jasonwilliamshuck]

@@fastinbulvis2223 she filled in several large shows with Incubus this summer. she's been working :)

[@marcelwierda6262]

pluck pluck, dandandan pluck bzz bzz bzz ...Tal = bass.

[@martyconroy3786]

She's got a couple solo albums, and they're amazing

[@jonizefox]

Yep ! Groovy as hell 😋. With such a bass face, cannot be bad !

[@fisch69]

Scary pockets jammers with Scofield and Wilkenfeld!! What’s the world coming to!!!😂👍👍👍👏👏

[@AlanSenzaki]

Tal sounding as great as ever since her days with the late great Jeff Beck🙏

[@shimonradovsky6540]

This is Scary Goldings with Scofield and Wilkenfeld

[@PatriotSteve]

Watching and listening to John play guitar never gets old. Tal playing so funky and hasn’t aged in ten years.

[@tonygriffiths2485]

Pros having a good time, so were the listeners. Lovely to see Tal again :)

[@richardbrucemusic]

Scofield is a legend. And Tal brings SO much to any session she's on bass - a future legend, indeed!

[@mane645]

She's now a legend. There is no need of being dead, bald or grey-haired to get there.

[@vielstein]

actual legend I would say.

[@phillipbarber3648]

Love Tal Wilkenfeld , she is so awesome. Love when she jamed with Jeff Beck.

[@Osnosis]

Not just ‘jam’; she was in the band for years.

[@phillipbarber3648]

I knew she was 🤘😎

[@rob140138]

Sco and Tal sound great, buy also give it up for Larry Goldings on the B3. I could listen to this band all night.

[@onnodejong4702]

So good to see Tal back on the road again. I could listen to her bassplaying all day!

[@WildtoneMusic]

Why are the bands all white even though the music is black based ?

[@soeffingwhat]

@@WildtoneMusic Yawn...another Troll trying to start sh!t online

[@ronroebuck1656]

@@WildtoneMusicdoes it matter

[@JohnLloydDavis]

@@WildtoneMusic You could say ALL this music is black based as it is rooted in West African rhythms and melodies.

[@JFS1215]

@@WildtoneMusicso only black people can play funk? Putting up racial stereotypes is so dangerous and demeaning, I don’t even know how to start knocking it down…..

[@hawkrider88]

Everybody killing it!!! Tal sounding great...and the groove is scary indeed!

[@donbrown1091]

That gal, Tal can put the groove in any jam!

[@leesyrjanen3947]

I like the way Tal moves. She really feels the music! 😉

[@JFS1215]

Bass face!

[@michaelmcdonald3057]

Love the sound of the Super Bassman!

Saw them at the Newport Jazz Festival this past August. It was perfect outdoor summer jazz-fest music.

[@danamaguire4285]

I was there too!

[@eightrodway]

​@@danamaguire4285Such a beautiful day!

[@jimvandemoter6961]

Very cool!! Also Tal laying down the funk. Doesn't get any better.

[@stevehicks7955]

While John and Tal are listed in the headline... lets not miss Larry Goldings on organ. He's a major player as well. Starting with Maseo Parker through to James Taylor's touring band with Steve Gadd, Michael Landau, Jimmy Johnson. He's played with some amazing players in his career. And it's still on fire. Check out his trio work with Goldings, Bernstein & Stewart. And Scary Pocket and may others. He's a beast of player. And very tasty.

[@mrbertiep1]

Damn straight

[@bluecrueful]

yeah, and he wrote this music too

[@moldvarpan]

@@bluecrueful So amazing! Do you know the name of the tune ? I can't find it :/

[@zepapires]

Sco and Tal are listed in the headline and Larry Golding is in the name of the band! He is the leader (John and Tal are guests). BTW, John and Larry have played together in many projects.

[@doctorgarbonzo2525]

Great Stuff! Had the distinct pleasure seeing John for the 1st time 48 yrs ago George Duke Billy Cobham Band along with Alfonso Johnson

[@uubuuh]

hip pockets, uh huh

Jack and Ryan just allowing everyone to shine - awesome.

Great sounding funk~ and featuring Sco and Tal pushes the cool factor way up!

[@chrrev1]

Tal... always impeccable

How anyone could not like this is beyond me. So good.

un excellent musicien ,de jazz électrisant ,innovateur et performant ,une classe atypiques, une légende unique et exemplaire ,c'est un son magistral ,décoiffant

[@robertdicarlo4490]

Haven't seen Ted Poor since 'Live From Here' ! He's one of my favorite drummers.

[@funklover24]

Thanks for mentioning his name. I was wondering, who might be this wonderful drummer. 🤝

[@stevegunning1806]

Robert, I’ve been reading all the comments hoping to find Ted mentioned, and over 50 comments in, you’re the first to do so. What a drummer! Space to burn! And grooooove for miles! Cheers!👍

[@chrissommers805]

Tal has quintessential bass-face!

[@robertdancy9896]

Killer band for sure love it!

[@Darrylizer1]

I saw John Scofield only once with Dennis Chambers on drums and was incredible. Glad to see he's still got it and then some! Love Tal Wilkenfeld also, great band.

[@LorenScott69]

There is SO much talent on that stage right there!

[@g-love6507]

My favorite Bass Player 😍! 😝

[@DocECS69]

All I can say is WOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

[@australier263]

Old and wide open! Rockjazz of the 80th! 😎🤟😉

[@mj7den]

Love her very tall Fender Bassman Amp . I had a Fender Bassman 50 top with VT Bassman 2 15 bottom. McCartney used it in the making of Let It Be , the Rooftop and all that. One of the best bass amps ever and at 50 watts tube driven, you could really drive it.

[@panicandfreakout-]

I like when she played a EBS stack and y'd into an Ampeg SVT...she totally had the sound spectrum covered :D

[@jimyoung9262]

Man that's some scary pockets there with John and Tal!

[@MrHolzfeld]

This is top shelf joy! They are ON FIRE ♥

[@adamjacksonmedia]

Man!! I haven’t listened to The Sco in year… his tone and phrasing is out of this world. Untouchable.

[@swordhillvillage841]

Dang! Killer groove! John's phrasing is just out of this world! Thanks for sharing - inspiring stuff!

[@gerimayawhyte154]

The use of space with the phrasing is what's killing it

[@CanyonWanderer]

Great suff!, Tal keeping everything in the pocket

[@johnkramer2866]

[@Prog-t9d]

Love John’s playing thanks for posting

It‘s Scary Goldings ❤

Wonderful 😊

[@A423-f9o]

What a great band !!!!!!!!

[@Bollocks-i5m]

Lovely john

[@jonathonmcmillan9410]

Larry and John have been playing together for decades. One of my favorite Scofield albums with Larry on organ was Groove Elation, released in 1995.

[@jerrychetty2524]

Thanks this band is just cooking, oh so funky man!

[@fredericducomet.boquier7920]

Thank you very much for this vidéo ! 👍🙏👏

[@rlevitta]

It’s actually “Scary Goldings.” Scary Pockets has toured with keyboardist/organist Larry Goldings calling it Scary Goldings. They have been featuring John Scofield on guitar and Mononeon on bass. I guess they had Tal sit in.

[@Ljuberus]

Tal, you are super, i love you... r music!

[@myronhudson1067]

I love his lines. They can be so angular.

[@dennisp3314]

Scofield is one of those very few Git - Pickers who's playing is almost instantly recognizable.

[@PeteEllson5656]

Outstanding!

[@oldmanpence4803]

Don’t mind me, just here for one of the finest musicians I know.. Tal Wilkenfeld. 🔥🔥 okay Sco, and Scary too okay

[@nadjaaregger8215]

John zeigt`s uns wieder allen! Völlig losgelöst. Sahne Nummer, Sahne Band! Thanks John

[@tripives1858]

Soooo good! I haven't hear anything from Scofield in years. Loved it!

[@TechGorilla1987]

Man have I missed Tal. She's come a long way since the Jeff Beck show I saw her in. She also ages like a fine wine. Spectacular.

[@905Alive]

Tal is infectious, you can't take your eyes off her, such a groove

[@CurtisLEC]

You might like her interview with Lex Fridman.

[@neomacchio4692]

I definitely can’t take my eyes off her. 🔥

[@tonykrch357]

I was having a hard time trying to put my enthusiasm into words, so thank you for enabling me to just add my "Amen, brother(or sister)" to yours. Tal is just a joy to watch and listen to. Also, her "stank face" near the end is one of the best things ever to be captured on video, IMHO.

[@kevinspot4070]

Oui mais pas tant que Marcus Miller...

[@kevinspot4070]

Pas mal Scoffield a un style ... La bassiste est la parce qu'elle est jeune et que c'est une fille...

Tht's just stupid. She's ok, but no Leland.

@@woudytreez2755 @LerockJohn is referring to their individual distinct Images. Tal and Leland are both extremely talented bassists in their own right and distinctive from each other. They also respect each other. Its not a competition.
