SUMMARY:JOHN SCOFIELD TRIO & THE SCOHORNS
DESCRIPTION: FEATURING: John Scofield\, guitar Steve Swallow\, bass Bi
	ll Stewart\, drums Frank Vacin\, baritone sax & bass clarinet Phil Gre
	nadier\, trumpet & flugelhorn Tom Olin\, tenor sax\, flute\, & alto fl
	ute  Guitarist John Scofield returns to the Blue Note in celebration o
	f his newest CD\, This Meets That\, released September 18\, 2007 on Em
	arcy Records. Scofield will feature his trio along with a group of hor
	ns he dubs The ScoHorns. The parts\, arranged by Scofield himself\, gi
	ve the music a broader harmonic dimension. "When I compose a tune\," h
	e explains\, "I often hear more parts than I end up playing on the gui
	tar\, so on this record I added the horns. We still keep our "trio thi
	ng" intact\, but the sound is extended and shaded. They embellish what
	 we're doing. All these tunes swing\," Scofield points out. "One may b
	e funky\, another may be country\, but the swing element is important 
	to all of them." They'll be swinging and stretching these new tunes on
	ly at the Blue Note. Aside from being one of the principal innovators 
	of modern jazz guitar\, John Scofield is a creative artist of an even 
	rarer sort: a stylistic chameleon who has forged a consistent\, rock-s
	olid aesthetic identity. An artist with fan bases in many camps and ne
	arly three dozen albums to his credit\, he has expressed himself in th
	e vernacular of bebop\, blues\, jazz-funk\, organ jazz\, acoustic cham
	ber jazz\, electronically tinged groove music and orchestral ensembles
	 with ease and enthusiasm. From early on\, his versatility and technic
	al mastery won him sideman gigs with Miles Davis\, Charles Mingus\, Ge
	rry Mulligan\, Chet Baker and Cobham/Duke among many. Regardless of th
	e stylistic setting\, his distinct guitar sound and compositions are u
	nmistakably Scofieldesque\, always coupled with an improvisational exc
	ellence dedicated to the finest in jazz tradition. Following celebrate
	d runs on the Enja\, Arista\, Gramavision\, Blue Note and Verve labels
	\, Scofield is proud to release his first project for Emarcy\, This Me
	ets That. The album finds Scofield once again in the company of what h
	e calls his "A-Team" - bassist Steve Swallow and drummer Bill Stewart 
	- the trio that released En Route in 2004\, Added to that\, the four-p
	art horn section of Roger Rosenberg on baritone sax and bass clarinet\
	, Jim Pugh on trombone\, Lawrence Feldman on tenor sax and flutes and 
	John Swana on trumpet and flugelhorn. A special treat\, one tune also 
	features special guest Bill Frisell on tremolo guitar. The parts\, arr
	anged by Scofield himself\, give the music a broader harmonic dimensio
	n. "When I compose a tune\," he explains\, "I often hear more parts th
	an I end up playing on the guitar\, so on this record I added the horn
	s. We still keep our "trio thing" intact\, but the sound is extended a
	nd shaded. They embellish what we're doing." Of course\, swing require
	s finely honed rapport\, and that's where Swallow and Stewart come in.
	 Before En Route\, this rhythm section appeared on Quiet as well as I 
	Can See Your House From Here\, Scofield's 1993 collaboration with Pat 
	Metheny. Swallow produced several early Scofield titles and played in 
	a previous Sco-led trio with drummer Adam Nussbaum - the band that rec
	orded Shinola and Out Like a Light in the early 80's. "Steve has been 
	a huge part of my development since I met him in 1973\," John says. "N
	ow we're aged contemporaries\, but when it started\, he was the establ
	ished great and I was the kid." As for Stewart: "From the first time I
	 heard him I loved his snap crackle\, you know? He usually takes the b
	est solo of the night\, in the most musical way. The three of us have 
	an intimacy in our musical exchange that only exists after like-minded
	 individuals play together for decades. It's really special for me." W
	ith This Meets That and his move to Emarcy\, Scofield continues his cr
	eative and unpredictable journey as a contemporary jazz master. In the
	 true spirit of collaboration\, he regularly lends his talents to vari
	ed and illustrious projects. Recent examples include the Grammy nomina
	ted Saudades with Trio Beyond (Jack DeJohnette\, Larry Goldings)\; Out
	 Louder with Medeski\, Martin & Wood. ScoLoHoFo with Joe Lovano\, Dave
	 Holland and Al Foster and Live at the Warfield with Phil Lesh and Fri
	ends. Scofield also believes in supporting new talent\, as is clear fr
	om the presence of fresh faces in his touring bands. "It's the jazz wa
	y\," Scofield declares. "I started out so inspired by my elders\, and 
	I got to play with many of the guys I listened to on records\, like Mi
	les\, Joe Henderson\, Chick and Herbie\, like Steve Swallow for that m
	atter. Then you get to pass it on. That's the way life works . . . in 
	music\, we really get to share and grow."
