Jazz Line-Up - John Scofield

In an edited version of an interview given at the 2009 London Jazz Festival, Kevin LeGendre talks in-depth to guitarist John Scofield, a former sideman to Miles Davis and collaborator with many others. Since working with Davis, Scofield has famously led his own groups, producing more than 30 albums, many of which are now classics. He has collaborated with contemporary favourites such as Pat Metheny, Charlie Haden, Eddie Harris, Medeski, Martin and Wood, Bill Frisell, Brad Mehldau, Mavis Staples, Government Mule, Jack DeJohnette, Joe Lovano and Phil Lesh. Scofield has also played and recorded with Tony Williams, Jim Hall, Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson, Dave Holland and Terumasa Hino.
