John Scofield, July 1987: Blue Matter
Музыка
Sco performs Blue Matter from the album of the same name at Christiansborg Ridebane, July 1987. This is a higher quality and longer version of a video I uploaded in 2008. It doesn't stop abruptly after ten minutes :)
I've also uploaded new versions of So You Say and Still Warm, from the same set.

Remember I had this music on my Walkman when I served in the Norwegian army..
He is building a big house out of notes with a strong foundation.
This is my favorite Scofield production ever. It´s pure inspiration and a kick-ass grooving power!!!!
Dennis Chambers on the Drums!! YES!!!!
Blue Matter record and this band were the apex of Scofields playing. This band was so good...
classic, my all time favourite guitarist for sure

This album is one of my faves. I wish someone would post the track "time marches on". I think it's so gorgeous, a masterpiece...
John is the real deal, always. A thousand stars.
Jeg spørger bare hvornår har man sidst kunne se et stort Jazz navn i dagslys spille i København. Jeg savner musikscenen fra 80'erne. Folk der ikke har oplevet det live er virkelig gået glip af noget musik opdragelse og inspiration, hvilket ses tydeligt hvis man kigger på KZread.
One of the BEST albums PERIOD🔥🔥🔥
Dennis OWNS!
brings back good memories. thanks for sharing
Nice live version, have had the album for many years. I like Mr. Scofield's older stuff, so funky and happy, etc......but then, I like his new stuff too.
That's phrasing at it's best, Scofield has a propensity to be fugal in a very laid-back manner.

nice nice show - thanks for uploading, another instant favorite
Scofield at his peak, Blue Matter
This kicks ass :)
Very nice. Thanks for posting.
I was there! really a mindblowing experience (despite the poor sound) The night after, they played the little club Montmartre, and now with super good sound. Especially Dennis Chambers scared the crap out of the audience tat night...!
sheer brilliance man. thanks for the up ;)
Amazing! thank you very much
How do you know when someone is ahead of their time? When they’re playing shit like this in the 80’s. Awesome. Thanks for the upload.
Thanks for the upload, awesome!
This Band is the Most INSANE Johns Collaborated… Miss Gary Grainger with DAT FUNKY SLAP GROOVE🌹🌻🌈🔥🔥🔥🎶💜🌎🍄😍🎵☮️☮️☮️
saw this band in Washington DC around 1989 or so... great show!! good memories! thankS!!
独特のタイム感と、緊張感走るフレージング! 熱いですね!
i love this music
Watching These guys live with low quality sound output is even more exhilarating than listening to the album
Great structure and melody, and even better when it's right there in front of a open minded wiser audience that also love it as much as I do. Thank you for showing this. I am truly appreciative. Thanks
TOTAL PLEASURE, as always.
More than 25 yrs ago please................lonegroover THANK YOU
Nice shuffle.-love it since I first heard it back in the day..Scofield is just ALL originality!
Мой любимый концерт !! Спасибо !!!!
Grammavision Jazz at their height. I had all of these albums with this band back in the day.
Mega funky-rock Sco! With the magic funky-couple Grainger-Chambers!
8:39 the line from beyond. One of many.

Heavy metal? Come on...... Fusion, dude. Heavy metal? Wow. Is the other way around. ...
I am so glad to hear that....I guess I was worried coz my ex-boss totally resembled him and was a MAJOR jerk!
JOHN SCOFIELD IS JUST SO FUCKING GREAT!~
This is Jazz Fusion, not the crap you hear on the radio.
This guy is too cool.
It's Gary ,He's on my latest cd reviewed by Just Jazz Guitar Magazine and Downbeat to name a few!
Jim Beard- keyboards, Gary Grainger- Bass and yes, Dennis Chambers on drums ;-)
THIS IS DENNIS CHAMBERS ON THE DRUMSS
I wonder how this would sound if Sco were leading a band like Jaco's Word of Mouth band, including Chambers and Grainger. Basically, if there were no synths and horns instead. I do the super-staccato rhythms and mix of 70s fusion solos with tighter and more pop-oriented 80s fusion song structure. The keyboards are for the most part dated to the extreme, but the writing is so strong, it all still holds up well.
Turn the volume of before you jack in...

Yeah, that's your coke right there
We are olways in present times.

Arguably the best ever! Other than Charlie Parker of course
That fucking keytar. lololololololol :P
I've got a question, by the way: could someone provide a link or an audio file to the "yougai" track, maybe from a japanese import of Still warm ???? Unfindable ?? Tkx to all

It's an octave pedal I believe.

Hi, does anyone know how Sco get this tone in 8:25 ...? Effects, setup?

foerfinad I know it's been 5 years since your post lol. He used a stereo set up. I believe he used a Rat overdrive, chorus and at that point in the song, it sounds like a very light octave pedal mixed very low, subtle.
And of course 4:58
Who is slapping the stingray bass?
Who's tha bass player? Familiar face and groove but I just cannot place the name...?
He bites the notes out of the air, eats them, and then regurgitates them out of his fingers.

I might be wrong but, Gary Grainger.
Who are the other band members. Is that DC on drums?

Gary Grainger on bass, Jim Beard on keys. I still have the videotape I recorded in 1987 by letting the tape run on after taping a Meeting of the Spirits gig. Nothing to play it on. I'd never heard of Scofield until that.

Sco is real good but Albert Collins for the real raw energy feel ...
well maybe you have to start listen to jazz.
Probably its just me, I like jazz music. But this performance is a bit boring, un interesting note choices and a bad tone. It all turns me off !!
