he’s been playing crazy unique bass lines on lps of straight jazz and more experimental forms for many, many decades, and is a composer as well, i believe. I don’t know enough about his career except that he is legendary in the jazz community. Anyone who loves this ought check out the duet lp w the late Charlie Haden and Pat Metheny… of course there are dozens/ hundreds of amazing lps of acoustic bass n jazz guitar duets. Dig deep… Jim Hall… Ray Brown… etc

First time I saw them was in 1982 in Amsterdam. Just went to see Wim Overgouw and Scofield,Swallow and Nussbaum were playing as well. That's where it all started. Scofield is the soundtrack of my live.

Welcome back Steve! Those two guys have been playing together for nearly 50 years...

Love is all I hear! Man, what a musicianship!

Scofield is one of my favorites. What great tone and phrasing.

Awesome to see Steve Swallow playing an accoustic bass guitar! Love to see how he plays up close like this. Also, listening to him harmonize on certain notes... pretty amazing. They're both amazing.

Watching these two is so heartwarming, it sure made my evening a lot happier 🙏🏼

Magnifique à voir et à entendre . Les grands musiciens sont toujours en recherche et nous enchantent au fil des ans . Grande leçon. Merci .

Saw these guys with a drummer I knew from CT Adam Nussbaum play at 7th Ave South in NYC. Stevie Wonder came in sat next to me with a few women in tow. I was sitting with pals Tim Smith, Eric Pearson, Randy and Michael Brecker rounded out the table. Spectacular night,,,WOW!

Beautiful. Inspiring.

That bass accompany is just amazing.... setting the supporting tone for Scofield's lead melody sooo well that full and warm clean tone sounds so good!

Thanks. I love Scofield and, of course, Steve Swallow, composer of Falling Grace.

Saw them play this live with Bill Stewart on drums about 10 years back in Mains Germany. Every note perfect. Both players monumental.

We finally get to see John playing a Gibson! Sounds beautiful! All these years of Ibanez endorsement really hurt a Gibson fan such as I, as I know how great someone like John Scofield could sound on a Gibson. This is the proof!

@@Intao I’m not sure if you are responding to my comment, or commenting on the Gibson that Sco is playing in this particular video. Yes, it looks like an ES330 in the video. My reference was to his first few albums where he is pictured playing a dot neck cherry ES335. I went to see him and chatted with him in a small Massachusetts club back in 1981, and he was playing that same dot neck ES335. It was shortly after that, that he switched to the Ibanez. Somewhere along the line, he picked up a telecaster and can be seen playing that in video footage.

He switched from that Gibson (in very bad shape) when he was offered the Ibanez that decades later - with some mods he suggested - become the John Scofield signature model. Afa tele are concerned, he recently bought a Nachocaster

@@frakognome4434 I was responding to Faz99Masters comment, “first time I see Sco play a Gibson “. I first became aware of Sco around 1980 playing in clubs in Massachusetts and Connecticut. He was playing a Cherry dot neck 335 at that time, and is seen playing it in the pictures on his first few vinyl albums. I couldn’t tell you the year. My only point is, it was Gibson before Ibanez.

Big thanks for such a beautiful piece of music

Pure nectar

Thanks for posting this @Luka Elez 🙏🏼

Sto Lat! Śliczne granie, prost do serca.

I'd always loved the round and soft sound of Steve's bass played with a pick. I had the opportunity to see them live in Paris (at the New Morning) and I remember the quality of the audience : not a single applause when the choruses switched from one another, only at the end of the tunes. Was a great evening. Thanks for posting !

Two giants. Thanks for posting.

I am sick and tired of bass players who slapping their instruments like drummers.I love to see a true bass players like Stive Swallow who play a counterpoint to another melody like Bach and Jaco played.

Lovely, music from the heart.

absolutely amazing!

I saw these two in a concert with the Mike Gibbs big band, many moons ago. Seems like a different world now.
