JOHN SCOFIELD TRIO FEAT. STEVE SWALLOW, BILL STEWART

One of the most popular jazz guitarists of all time is back with his great friends Steve Swallow and Bill Stewart, a trio that can be called legendary.

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. At the Bimhuis, ‘Sco’ will perform in a trio with two good friends who have played important roles in his career.

With Steve Swallow, an undeniable innovator of the electric bass, he was already part of a trio since the late 1970s, recorded on influential albums such as Shinola and Out Like A Light. Since the 1990s Scofield celebrated great successes with drummer Bill Stewart in various line-ups, with famous musicians such as Joe Lovano, Randy Brecker and Larry Goldings. In 2004 the trio Scofield/Swallow/Stewart released the album EnRoute (Verve), which was recorded live at The Blue Note.

‘Scofield has always been true to his evolving identity as an improviser, no matter what style he is playing’, ‘As always, Scofield inflects even flat-out bebop with a deeply guitaristic blues sensibility’ (Jazz Times).
