John Scofield, July 1987: Blue Matter
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 сен 2010
- 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.

Dennis Chambers on the Drums!! YES!!!!
Remember I had this music on my Walkman when I served in the Norwegian army..
Good
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!!!!
classic, my all time favourite guitarist for sure
sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
@Reece Orlando Instablaster :)
Blue Matter record and this band were the apex of Scofields playing. This band was so good...
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...
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.
Fugal yet laid back. May I borrow that one ? 😅
WTF is fugal?
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 RUclips.
One of the BEST albums PERIOD🔥🔥🔥
独特のタイム感と、緊張感走るフレージング！
熱いですね！
brings back good memories. thanks for sharing
saw this band in Washington DC around 1989 or so... great show!! good memories! thankS!!
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...!
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
More than 25 yrs ago please................lonegroover THANK YOU
nice nice show - thanks for uploading, another instant favorite
sheer brilliance man. thanks for the up ;)
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.
Scofield at his peak, Blue Matter
Watching These guys live with low quality sound output is even more exhilarating than listening to the album
This Band is the Most INSANE Johns Collaborated… Miss Gary Grainger with DAT FUNKY SLAP GROOVE🌹🌻🌈🔥🔥🔥🎶💜🌎🍄😍🎵☮️☮️☮️
Thanks for the upload, awesome!
Nice shuffle.-love it since I first heard it back in the day..Scofield is just ALL originality!
Dennis OWNS!
Very nice. Thanks for posting.
Amazing! thank you very much
i love this music
Mega funky-rock Sco! With the magic funky-couple Grainger-Chambers!
TOTAL PLEASURE, as always.
Мой любимый концерт !!
Спасибо !!!!
8:39 the line from beyond. One of many.
Exactly. Blow, John blow.
Grammavision Jazz at their height. I had all of these albums with this band back in the day.
Dennis Chambers , slow heavy metal drumming technique .
Heavy metal? Come on......
Fusion, dude.
Heavy metal?
Wow.
Is the other way around.
...
This kicks ass :)
love Sco!!!!!
Awesome !!!
🤯
Incredible!!
Jim Beard- keyboards, Gary Grainger- Bass and yes, Dennis Chambers on drums ;-)
This is Jazz Fusion, not the crap you hear on the radio.
como puede ser este muchacho, esto tiene 25 años y es hoy !!!
Turn the volume of before you jack in...
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.
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 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!
THIS IS DENNIS CHAMBERS ON THE DRUMSS
We are olways in present times.
❤👍❤👍❤👍❤👍❤
@Sax4Him Who called it a trio?
おお！ 黄金のメンバーですやん！！
Oh !! GOLDEN Members is it !!
Yeah, that's your coke right there
Unbelievable...
He is using Roland JC-120?
Iz Tak I see a Yamaha G100-III also, 2 of which he used with Miles.
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
With O. Hakim & D. Jones (sorry, forgot the keyboarder)
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.
John Scofield - Uberjam - Live@Paradox -Tilburg -The Netherlands -10 november 2013!
@
It's an octave pedal I believe.
Who is slapping the stingray bass?
Interesting but it occurs to me what an awkward time 1987 must've been...
so much less awkward than this -- 30 years later......trust me and all of us who lived through it. Today is as awkward as it will ever get.
Jason has a point. Anytime there is a keytar on stage, there is awkwardness in the air...
You mean awesome? I'd take 1987 over today any day. Guys like Sco, Chambers, etc playing fusion and it being KIND OF popular? Yeah, sign me up
Dennis Chambers ;)
And of course 4:58
-John eat this music for breakfast :) cool face
Who are the other band members. Is that DC on drums?
DC - Drums, Gary Grainger - Bass,. Robert Aires - Keys. Same personnel as on the great Blue Matter Live album.
I wonder when he took his shades off.
Arguably the best ever! Other than Charlie Parker of course
@Sax4Him
That's a group :)
That fucking keytar. lololololololol :P
Is this a Kind of smooth jazz? or what is the correct name ? thank you
Fusion
Its Jazz Fusion
but ther's a lot of funky
Jazz fusion is a mix of jazz and some other style. Sometimes its rock, sometimes its funk, latin...
Yes I know, but I mean that the funky rhythm in this case is very present
01:43 ToeJam & Earl
What kind of guy is he offstage I wonder?
A really cool, articulate guy, w/ a great sense of humor.
who's on bass and keyboard?
Bassman Gary Grainger
Thanks.
Robert Aries on keys.
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.
robert aries, not jim beard
dead-end guitar !
I might be wrong but, Gary Grainger.
He bites the notes out of the air, eats them, and then regurgitates them out of his fingers.
#radical
Chi è il bassista?
gary grainger
Why is this quartet called a trio?.....
This fantastic music has not aged a single day.
Quite the opposite, the oversized shoulder pads... 😅😉
Who's tha bass player? Familiar face and groove but I just cannot place the name...?
Poopy Lee Poopta
Micheal league on key tar?!
Keyitars are cool!
Yes, probably it´s just you.
Dennis Chmabers is the Man. End
lol, danmark :D
Sounds like he's picking octaves....
Yeah, it would seem that the keyboard player can't swing
Right. Can’t swing but he’s yet he’s jammin with Dennis, Gary and John. You should teach him how.
what is aries doing with a keytar... hahahaha
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 !!
its just you
You sound just like one of those Sco-haters, I've met a few.
