被誉为当代最杰出三大爵士吉他巨匠之一的约翰?史考菲，因身处康乃迪克州威尔顿镇郊区之故致幼时即在民谣、蓝调及摇滚乐等类型音乐萦绕下成长；他从11岁起开始接触吉他，大抵以传统民谣及摇滚乐章为练习曲目，直至遇到伯乐亦是其首任吉他恩师艾伦 迪安後，遂引发其对爵士乐的兴趣，更在反覆聆听前辈派特?马蒂诺及吉米?霍尔的录音作品及亲临现场演奏後於15岁起立誓以成为爵士吉他手为终生职志，而霍尔的弹技更是影响史考菲技巧最深且最远的乐手。为了精进音乐概念及强化作曲能力，史考菲进入波士顿柏克里音乐学院研习，亦在课余之暇担任小号手查特?贝克、萨克斯风手盖瑞?穆林根、鼓手比利?柯比汉、键盘手乔治?杜克、低音提琴手查理?明格斯及萨克斯风手乔?汉德生等大师的伴奏乐手，除了累积无数的临场经验外，亦培养了随机接招拆招的应变功力，而此段期间的正规科班教育及俱乐部实战洗礼，均为其日後职业生涯奠定下深厚之根柢。史考菲首张领衔专辑於1977年问世，一推出甫大获好评，该初试啼声之作亦为其建立起创作派的鲜明标志；而後则加入小号宗师迈尔?戴维斯领军的电气化乐团长达三年半之久，虽然长期浸淫於融合爵士领域，却未因此将他的音乐风格局限於此，反而是以其成长背景所熟稔的旋律及年纪渐增後所吸纳的元素交相融合而绽放出音乐无国界之分、无种族之别、无类型之差及无语言之异的时代新韵，故在其自在游走的音乐呈现中，总能听到蓝调、纽奥良、咆勃、後咆勃、放克、灵魂乐、融合乐及摇滚乐等多样乐风时而单独发声窜出、时而交相掺和揉合或时而冶炉蜕变进化；此外，他亦以流畅俐落的弹奏功力、如泉涌般的慧黠创意及鲜活跃动的旋律线见长而自成一格，故得以与比尔?伏立索及派特?曼席尼两位巨擘齐名并价

John Scofield is considered one of the most and influential jazz guitarists and composers since he arrived on the scene in the mid seventies. A masterful improviser at the peak of his creative art, Scofield revisits today coms & interpretations richly combining post-bop, funk edged jazz, and R & B influences. The New Morning is deeply honored to welcome this 2010 performance by John Scofield (backed by master drummer Bill Stewart, bassist Ben Street and pianist Michael Eckroth) to its series of DVDs dedicated to the great musicians of the Sons of Miles generation. A veteran alum, John toured & recorded with Miles for nearly four years in the eighties. - Daniel Farhi
