John Scofield "I Don't Need No Doctor" - The Late Show's Commercial Breakdown

[@ivandukemusic]

I wish they would air this instead of the commercials

[@pageljazz]

No, it's far more important that we know what brand of toilet paper to buy! 😂

[@wideawake5630]

Are you too young to be paying bills or what?

[@crystalshaw8744]

​@@pageljazzOr pizza.

[@mariemelansongundy-vx4ox]

I have been that for years! Give it as an option. No commercial/ band music override. It's 21st century technology people! Come 0n!

[@Ch-ui6mw]

Well, the bills gotta be paid, but how awesome is it that they've posted this GREAT non-commercial break on KZbin?!?! Now I wish they would ALWAYS post ALL of these on KZbin each episode!

[@blessingsoutlaw]

Louis Cato’s vocals are off the chart! Why oh why have we not heard him sing until now?

[@TiagoLageira]

Check his tiny desk concert!

[@toobyoolaar]

we have (but not enough)... look for the xmas tune they posted...

[@edwardmeradith2419]

Eggcellent vocals !

[@seongomez4903]

Because he was backing up J Baptise. Ha. But yeh I've known about Louis for years. He's an incredible musician. Bass, Drums (Uber Jam with Scofield), Guitar!!

[@jonmilizia7175]

mostly because louis is a drummer, that is how he met John

[@venusvirgofly]

Thank you, John Scofield. Amazing as always. Thanks for taking the muzzle off Louis Cato and let us soak in his brilliance!!

[@Baatid]

If I could speak as well as John Scofield plays guitar….the phrasing on that guy is beyond anything.

[@sandytrunks]

I am Absolutely gobsmacked by what I just saw and heard! PLEASE "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" PLEASE post more of these "Commercial Breakdowns" in the future. 🙏🏼

[@kimmywatts5459]

Agree 💯 That was fantastic!

[@madwoman8297]

I'm also pretty gobsmacked 😂. Got me dancing round the bathroom 😅

[@michaelfoxbrass]

I met John Scofield on the sidewalk outside The Blue Note in NYC many years ago. My buddy who’d recently played with him introduced me to him as a “former pro” trumpet player. John kindly and genuinely inquired why I’d given up the horn, (which I hadn’t, only making a living on it!). Though he could have (certainly most would!) just blown by my pedestrian/uninteresting history, he paused to ask. Now whenever I hear him play anything recorded before or after that brief encounter, it’s with different and more appreciative ears.

[@feralsanders]

MORE Scofield, PLEASE~~~~~❤❤❤❤❤

[@pageljazz]

Scofield is phenomenal. One of my very guitarists.

[@pendragon6207]

He's definitely a very very guitarist, no doubt about that.

[@pageljazz]

@@pendragon6207 He's the most guitarest guitarist.

[@jackiec859]

This is smokin'! Louis...damn! John...damn. The whole band...damn.

[@masu_masu]

Exactly this!!! YES!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@nightnoodler812]

That guitar duet was awsome, brought a huge smile to me face, thank you.

[@the_guitar_generation]

Love that you had SCOFIELD on the show!!!

[@jakobullmann7586]

Haven’t been watching this show for some time… but I knew Louis Cato as a drummer for John Scofield and Marcus Miller. I had no idea he could sing and play guitar, nor that he had taken over as the band leader for the Late Show.

[@AhmetKizilay0]

Cato and Scofield trading solos was incredible! I wish I was there to experience it in person

[@MemphiStig]

Wow! Lot a talent on that stage. Good to hear them cut loose with such a legend. Outstanding jam!

[@seamusmcfreak]

Soooooo goooooood! John is legend!

[@justsaying14]

Yeah, John Legend!

[@kturn5953]

Scofield is one of the most influential and greatest musicians! I can never get enough of his tone and choices :)

[@noahtenshen]

Now THAT was Necessary! No reason to keep that a secret for the in house audience only.

[@chrisandersen5635]

Fantastic how Cato’s playing works so well with Scofield. Yo, Colbert!!! We need more of this depth in the music and in your interview subjects. Please continue with your amazing ability to bring depth and silliness to your program. Cheers.

[@mettamoose5074]

Oh. My. Gawd. Louis Cato, guitarist/singer/bandleader extraordinaire?! What I can't believe is that nobody in the comments section yet realizes what a blisteringly good drummer he is as well - everyone please check out old YT footage of him KILLING the drums in Scofield's Uberjam band as well as with bass god Marcus Miller (also when he had long hair :). What an amazing overall talent he is!!

[@SomeRandomDude2020]

Most excellent.

[@Chris.Wiley.]

This is just AWESOME!!!!!!!

[@joannmay-anthony1076]

I loved Scofield when he was with Dr. John and now too of course!!!!!

[@terrysmith470]

More of this! LOVE IT!

[@teagueskye0959]

Oh I wish you guys ALWAYS let us share in this joy!

[@marciabentley9557]

I'm sitting in a restaurant listening and it's all I can do not to break into applause. ❤😊🎶😊❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@garydare2238]

What a great funky take! I only know this song from Humble Pie's "Live at the Fillmore" hard rockin' version with Steve Marriott (sp?) on vocals and Peter Frampton on guitar (pre-solo) but there's a classic original that I'm going to dig up pronto! Thanks to Louis, the band and John Scofield!

[@narvul]

Jon Scofield recorded this version of a Ray Charles original (written by Jo Armstead, Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson) with John Mayer on guitar and vocals.

[@PaulvanEgmond]

There’s also a John Mayer Trio recording of this song, if you crave it with a bit of Stevie Ray Vaughan flavor

[@tlister67]

On top of what others have replied, there is a whole album of Ray Charles tunes “That’s What I Say”. Very accessible album with other stars on it. Sco is unlike anyone else of guitar.

[@happygster922]

The John Mayer live in LA version is a must listen.

[@mcfahk]

Yes, more of this please!

[@allenrodgers1577]

Hell yeah! Thank you for posting! I was asking for this.

[@ivandukemusic]

Thanks posting…. Sounds Great!!

[@halcop]

Louis Cato and John Scofield just made my day.🔥🔥

[@LincolnWorld]

That man can sing!

[@charlielauffer7644]

About goddam time! Tightest band in the United States and y'all been bogarting them for Christ sake!

[@forestyogin2218]

Yes, blown away by Louis Cato's voice, his guitar tone, and his guitar playing. Do not usually hear that on the aired part of the show. And these performances during commercials have got to be a regular thing. Heard about Scofield for years, finally actually heard him.

[@marshac1479]

Legend. They were both tremendous.

[@rockdfunk]

what a treat

[@leelarson1952]

Great arrangement, masterfully performed.

[@BizLurns]

Such a favorite, haven't seen him play in years. THANK YOU!!!

[@techcommander661]

Louis and John need to get themselves to a recording studio and cut an album together!

[@xebio6]

Louis has played drums for Scofield both in studio albums and in tours, when drums were his main instrument. He can do anything, what a musician

[@JustinShepardMusic]

Sure would be nice if Louis could adopt Scofield into the Late Show band! Always happy to hear folks so beautifully trading 8s!

[@ateamfan42]

Still THE best band in late night! Why has the band not released an album? Or several?

[@AHerndon-co1zt]

This song is an oldie, but a goodie: it was a hit, my grandma loved this song!!!

[@ESP77769]

Who wrote that song originally??

[@Yourbankaccount]

​@@ESP77769 the one and only, Ray Charles

[@mrmockatoo6786]

@@ESP77769 According to Google Jo Armstead, Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson wrote the song, first released by Ashford in August 1966. Ray Charles released it in October 1966.

[@merlapittman5034]

Fantastic! I wanna hear lots more commercial breakdowns!

[@mattevans060972]

I’m really impressed with how Louis Cato channels Scofield’s own tone and phrasing when they trade licks.

[@skyyoung8114]

Was thinking the same thing! Don't think I could tell who was who if I was only listening. Louis is absurdly talented.

[@rytchbytchrockingclub3867]

INSANE!!! 🤩

[@astrogallotron]

Yeah Scofield rules. Please bring Medeski Martin and Wood one day for a super duper funky jazz jam!

[@pvthitch]

[@TheAndrewsAve]

Top 5 best soloists of all time in my opinion. Sooo much melody and feel good lord

[@JamesVandevanter]

Man! Scofield! Thank you🎸

[@oyemimelaza]

This has just made my day -AND WEEK-! What a fantastic and unexpected surprise!

[@jakehendriksen2841]

This was phenomenal. Can you imagine going back to taping the show and not basking a little longer in the music that had just taken place? Stephen Colbert must have great taste, because from the beginning, his show has low-key fostered some of the best funk and jazz musicians of the day.

[@joejoe3011]

Dadgum, that's good stuff! I listened to my dad's "Blue Matter" record when I was a teenager and have been a Scofield fan ever since

[@robertlewis5439]

Great song with amazing vocals and that superb first guitar solo, but then it took off with those dueling guitar solos at the end with a fantastic resolution. This was a special performance, so, yeah, more of this.

[@vivalapita8484]

Please put more of this up on the channel!

[@BobMacNeal]

'Sco is my fav jazz guitarist and I dig this funked up cover of a classic Humble Pie rock tune. Soulfully smooth vocals by Louis Cato to boot. The call and response solos by Cato and 'Sco is icing on a delicious cake.

[@malcolmarmstrong3957]

And Scofield isnt playing. He's channeling it 😊t😊h😊rough his goatee.

[@MrDevins]

That was pretty damn great

[@macschomo]

Mein Held. I love Scofield,

[@daneverhart7649]

I got'a admit, this is the first Colbert clip I've had the stomach to watch twice. ...and now three times! Bravo!

[@johnr8820]

I love Sco…they were definitely “hittin the the note” especially during the duo guitar solo

[@bassofone1]

MORE commercial breakdowns , please!!!!!

[@rowanhaigh8782]

Sweet Jesus! Could Lewis be anymore funky; so smooth and sweet. ❤

[@0920121908250727]

[@wideawake5630]

Cato rocks it old school!

[@papacarl2002]

Yes. Yes. Yes. 🙌🏼 THIS is exactly what we need…so *WE* don’t need no doctor! 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼

[@daleleavitt]

Fine musicians!

[@jeffhubbard9951]

Just phenomenal, but not unexpectedly so. I've seen Scofield live six times, and each time, he managed to blow my mind. He's been my favorite guitar player for more than thirty years (the first album of his I bought - on vinyl - was "Still Warm," back in eighty-five. It's still one of my favorite fusion records, to this day. His playing is as distinctive as anyone's, and his improv ability is as deep as anyone's. I've had the pleasure of meeting and talking with him several times, and I can tell you that he's as great a human being as he is a guitarist. I've got nothing but love for the man, and he's clearly playing as well as I've ever heard him. Thanks so much for posting this. Fantastic playing from everyone!

[@fabriziovincitorio9377]

I agree. John Is a Genius. After two notes you can understand Who Is the guitarist: a unique sound and personal harmonic choices make him so impressive. I love his old albums too, with Chambers and Grainger solid as a rock!!!

[@80thtasties85]

fantastic version - great solo !!! best wishes from germany!

[@ivanmay7890]

That was great to see Louis Cato and John Scofield perform together, they are both great guitarists!

[@marKism69]

The guy is a monster musician.. plays everything through the roof. Look for Sco and Cato playing Jungle Fiction, where Cato is playing the most amazing drums you've ever heard.

[@terrychancellor4593]

WOW!!!!!!!! MORE PLEASE!!!

[@bluesdjben]

Thanks for sharing! John Scofield is awesome, and it's great to see Louis Cato and the band showing what they can do.

[@peggy011]

[@chadrew6]

Awesome! Best I’ve heard from Sco in years!

[@GDletterwriter]

Hot dang!

[@foreststewart1968]

Killing! Don't need no doctor! That's one hell of a funky groove! This just might have kept Stephen out of the hospital if he'd heard this tune a few months ago! Stay healthy, all!

[@Meridian83West]

This is fantastic! Not long ago I heard Louis and the band leading into the commercial break with the Crusaders' "Put It Where You Want It". I would have loved to hear that in its entirety!

[@laurawatters914]

It's so nice to hear the band, they are really good!! 😊🩷🤘✌️

[@blumbe]

I concur with many of the other comments here. We need to hear a lot more of this band. Please post more

[@rightchordleadership]

Sco is killin it and so is the whole band

[@cheesesteak59]

I'm glad I randomly stumbled upon this. I have another great version of this song from a Sco cd from about 20 years ago with John Mayer doing the lead vocals.

[@jakollee]

Man, the trade-offs at the end were just killer!!

[@jkaznosky]

Sco just gets cooler as he gets older. His groove is impeccable. The trading was the shit.

[@mrmockatoo6786]

Brilliant work from John, Louis and the band. Now THAT'S an ad break worth watching.

[@jonmilizia7175]

small world, Louis was playing fill in shows for John years ago, what a unique energy together. Liked the Version of this cover John did on leno years ago! Colbert is about as likeable as a root canal but admittedly great to see Sco and Louis in the house!

[@papa_pt]

most Colbert I've watched in a long time!!
