John Scofield - Apr 22 Boerderij Zoetermeer
You never know exactly what to expect with John Scofield. Ranging from acid jazz, improvised funkjazz, and modern jazz to blues, Scofield plays a lot of different styles. This time a more classical jazz approach with Bill Stewart on drums, Mike Eckroth piano/organ and Ben Street acoustic bass. The latter two are relatively unknown and have their origin in the New York jazz scene. Nice improvisations on mostly own tunes, ranging from an occasional jazz ballad to up-time swing. Besides grandmaster Scofield, Eckroth performed very well. Apparently Scofield enjoyed the enthousiastic audience and after 10 tunes and one extra tune it was time to wish everybody a 'no-ash' safe journey home.
