	John Scofield :Uberjam
		John Scofield was lucky enough to be around during the first real wave of jazz/rock experimentation and to work firsthand with the musicians who helped jazz regain a footing in mainstream music: Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, George Duke, Billy Cobham, and the man who started it all, Miles Davis.
		Scofield was an integral part of Miles' band during his comeback years in the 1980s, and his playing and compositions appear on three of Davis' recordings from that time.
		Scofield takes much of the credit for this, taking off into jams that are technically challenging and trippy, but never losing sight of the groove, which his band lays down wonderfully.

	John Scofield - Verve Records (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		John Scofield's earliest memory of the late musical genius Ray Charles goes back to his childhood in the early '60s, when he heard the song "Hit the Road Jack" on the radio.
		Scofield clearly took both lessons to heart: No matter whether he's playing straight-ahead jazz, jam-band oriented grooves, soul-jazz blowing sessions or even contemporary-classical orchestral pieces, Scofield's trademark is his soulful lyricism.
		One of Scofield's first choices, the inimitable New Orleans singer-pianist Dr. John, was someone with whom the guitarist already had a long, rich history: Scofield played gigs with Dr. John in the '80s, and both had appeared together on albums.

	John Scofield - IMN World
		Scofield has come a long way as a player and leader since those early years, but one thing that EnRoute has in common with those early dates is Steve Swallow.
		Scofield’s 16-year-old son Evan provided the oddly poetic title of "Hammock Soliloquy," which rocks back and forth between a slow Stewart strut and a breezier uptempo beat.
		Scofield and his bandmates stretch out and intertwine with familiar grace and ease in "It Is Written." The song spices up the set list with its perky rhythm and sophisticated chord progression.

	John Scofield: That's What I Say

	The Yale Herald - February 1, 2002 - john scofield
		As the title implies, this release is aimed at the jam-oriented college audience to which Scofield has been catering for the past several years.
		While one finds little reason to fault Scofield for following what is a successful formula for other artists in a jazz-hostile music industry, his claim of "taking jazz to new places" seems more a marketing ploy than a legitimate statement of ideology.
		As for his mentor, this record seems to be something the Davis of the '80s would be sooner to endorse than would the leader of the wildly experimental Afro-funk records of the mid-'70s.
