Waiting for a conversation like this with the great Scott Henderson!!

[@Jamaicafunk]

Definitely have Scofield back for a part II. I was hoping to hear him talk more about the Granger/Chambers line up. Seeing Dennis taking drumming to the next level every live performance was ground breaking.

"This is the men's group I've always dreamed of..." That goes double for us, guys. Keep it goin'!

[@AMFUNKII]

Totally awesome podcast! Thank you Stick People xx

[@hofmann61]

Fantastic series

[@tylerthompson1842]

Love Scofield! Lol his voice reminds me of “The Dude” Jeff Bridges a little lol. But he is the undisputed king of funky rock guitar.

[@nz7244]

Thanks for this. Scofield has a wide lens and sounds amazing and soulful in all of them. I mean from Quiet to Still Warm to you name it. He was in my favorite Miles group of the 1980s...w Bob Berg...check him out on Decoy.

Jazz greats seldom played where I live, but Sco - together with Joe Lovano - was able to play here back in '08 which I was fortunate to watch. Needless to say it was a transcendent experience. Thanks for the music sir.

I remember seeing Lenny & Scofield at the Bottom Line... An Urbaniak gig. It snowed that night, and I remember Lenny cracking jokes about John's galoshes.

I'm just discovering these wonderful conversations this week. I've watched all of them and they are funny, insightful and uplifting. Sco's solo on Endless Summer at the beginning is so great! I love the Uberjam band.

John Scofield sound👍

[@dfolegna]

I want to add the works of Sco with Lovano at beginning of the 90s, probably his most unique and original band. Jazz in a modern way. Another top band was a trio with DeJohnette and Larry Goldwin on organ. I would love to hear him in a trio with Lenny White and some deep double bass player like Holland, playing standards.

[@LeoAmuedo]

What a great interview/chat and channel !!! Thank you all so much for this beauty !!!!!

[@xavierderouin2]

Thank you all!

Pasquale Grasso!

[@campocat]

Johns sound is unique but what makes him stand out is his chord work in his voice leading.
