But don't, for a minute, think Scofield isn't serious about music. The status he's achieved in the music world was accomplished with hard work, listening to the people and sounds around him, absorbing many influences, then putting it forth--through his instrument and through composition--in a way that is honest and forthright. He appeals to musicians and music aficionados. And he's done it in a consistent fashion over the years.
AAJ contributor R.J. DeLuke spoke with the stylistically broad-minded guitarist about his latest album, This Meets That (Emarcy, 2007), working with Miles Davis, Gerry Mulligan and Billy Cobham, and keeping things interesting.
