The John Scofield concert will take place, despite the ash cloud. The band is touring by car trough Europe.


John Scofield is one of the most popular jazz guitarists of all time and a true musical chameleon. In the early 1980s he played with Miles Davis before launching a successful solo career. His raw and rugged style remains recognizable, whether he plays acoustic jazz, electric funk or gospel. ‘His improvisations… represent his expressive balance of anthemic blues phrasing, vocalised sounds, subtly deployed electronics and dramatic bursts of jazzy double-time’ (The Guardian). ‘It is a rare artist that can explore more than one kind of music with true fluency, virtuosity and sincerity. Guitarist John Scofield can’ (Jazz Review).
