John Scofield - Trim - Jazz Jamboree 1986 (Warsaw)

[@gerrittenberkdeboer7763]

all at its best. The ability of chambers to play what he wants to...is wow....

[@davidgrout1056]

I was lucky to see these guys perform at the Berklee School of Music in 1987! I’ll never forget the incredible pulse of the rhythm section. Blue Matter was a game changer! Scofield is such a badass - he goes places most guitarists only dream about…

[@jampoles]

I was there too in both places I was in Warsaw in 1986 and went to Berklee in 1987 I worked at the school's library and when they started to throw away reel-to-reel tapes in the trash I saved a bunch of them including BPC concerts from previous years.

[@lusighfer]

Both Dennis Chambers and Gary Grainger are absolutely locked in and off the hook.

[@tipsylibrarians7764]

I saw those two with Mike Stern and Bill Evans a little over a year ago. They are still awesome.

[@ChelleTomlin]

One of my all time favorite drummers..

[@Stricknyne1]

Really this is what Scofield does best! So glad to have been around when he was hitting his stride.

[@kenster3554]

I have a bootleg cassette from around 1980 of Sco and George Mraz playing standards. Seems like he played everything great!

[@sharkpedal]

been listening to Pick Hits live since late 80’s what a great tune

[@jacekwyszomirski7357]

I was there! It was another day of festival and audience was little bit tired due to excess of music and party and then this. We all went crazy!!

[@CM-nd7mx]

I feel ya Sir. Saw them in ‘87 during a blizzard (almost didn’t go). Was going expecting to see Omar Hakim on drums…. Was introduced to the great Dennis Chambers…. We were all shell shocked. The entire band killed it that night

[@flacopastorius2708]

i cant stop playing this...they are locked in!!!!! Chambers and the bassist are untouchable! the composition of that main theme is just remarkable

[@wallyb55232]

Scofield blowin cool. How badass is Chambers!

[@claudiocusato8852]

Ogni volta una versione meglio dell'altra.. grande e grande gruppo

Still seeing it 20.9.23. Lovely!

and 30.4.24...

[@BrianKlobyGuitar]

That was mega insane crazy good... this lineup was on fire ☕🎸

[@waldemarbieniak8689]

I listened to the live broadcast of this performance from the congress hall on Polish radio and I was enchanted, above all, by the wonderful playing and sound of the bass, as well as by the entire incredibly well-coordinated band - arrangements, articulations, great compositions, especially the sound of all the instruments - simply powerful for 1986 the sound after 37 years is still the same, maybe with less emotion, but everything sounds perfect and flawless

[@johanponin8680]

Pretty cool that the radio put that on air. Were there other jazz fusions concerts on this at the time ?

[@waldemarbieniak8689]

@@johanponin8680 As for bands playing jazz fusion at that time, I don't remember, only from the festival itself I remember two great concerts, one acoustic jazz performed by Herbie Hancock and blues by B.B. King, maybe one of the mentioned musicians performed at jam sessions in klub because there was an annual tradition of playing until the morning. for jam sessions

[@johanponin8680]

​@@waldemarbieniak8689oh i see it was about the whole festival, not scofield per se

Ooh my God! The band is on fire and mister Chambers has the matches:)

This is such a special set but I cant find the full thing anywhere.

[@PabloHeldmusic]

Such a great song !!!!!

[@KennyO303]

The version of 'Trim' on Dennis Chambers drum instruction video used to be my favorite, until I seen this. I'm so happy this was suggested to me tonight 🤘🏼

[@krzysztofdepa5753]

I was there!

[@vigulfmusicproduct]

Nostalgic forever!

[@2Chron20]

This power trio is missing Mitchel Forman who played on the studio recording, but the keyboard substitute is no slouch. I could write a lot cuz I really like what Sco, not only composed, but also gathered together.. Chambers and Grainger.. No one on this planet is gonna argue what I'm gonna say.. YA AIN'T GONNA GET A BETTER RHYTHM SECTION! John, having played w/ Miles, Jaco.. and such a wealthy background, vocabulary, authentic sound, technique.. and yes, brilliant composer. I know he said he wrote Trim after having been on some trip, or vacation where he had heard a lot of pop music... JUST CREAM OF THE CROP! this music is! YA AIN'T GONNA find anything BETTER, or more well crafted than this bunch.. Well, honestly I miss Forman here.. His piano solo on the studio version just f@cking glides over the changes....

[@keithhodiak8577]

Great band!!! Fantastic musicians, can't get enough.
