Nicest man I ever met. I used to work at the Freihofer jazz festival in Saratoga, New York. Which is the spinoff of the Newport Jazz Festival. Got to spend some time with him at lunch before he went on. I picked his brain about jazz, brilliant man.
I love these interviews. I think that beyond the music it's a chance to get a glimpse of the humanity of these giants. And that, for me, only enriches their musical output
Great interview! It seems to be just like hanging out with Sco, probably because you guys are obviously friends and he's very much himself anyway. He mentioned Louie Shelton of the Wrecking Crew. Louie is still around and even has his own RUclips page. In addition to "Last Train to Clarksville", which Sco mentioned, Louie also played the solo on Lionel Richie's "Hello", which my teen blues rock band used to play for fun and our edification only at rehearsals. In those pre-internet days, we used to wonder who that great soloist was. Our guess back then was George Benson.
True artists real musicians are always humble they are down to earth like John most of the great guitarist from my scene sometimes I meet them or jam and the best players are always humble
Hello Pablo! Thanks for both interviews with Sco! Sco is my favorite jazz guitarist and I enjoyed listening to your conversation. Scofield got to play several Zappa themes (another musician I highly respect) with Duke and Cobham, as well as Govt Mule. I've always been interested in Sco's opinion about Zappa as a composer and musician - will you have the opportunity to ask him this question at your next meeting with Sco (if there is one planned)? Thank you!)
RUclips always likes us to go on a search for 1. Why not just give us John Scofield interviewed by Pablo Held PART I? Then we can watch II next. Make sense? It makes PERFECTLY good sense to me. I want someone to agree out there. Let's give part 1 before part 2. Any other geniuses out there on the planet?
I love transcribing John Scofield songs, but I occasionally run into trouble, because his voicings can be pretty closed, and ambiguity of the harmony throws me off.
This channel is a gold mine for jazz enthusiasts
thank you so much!!
@@PabloHeldmusic vielen Dank !!!!!!

Pablo. Thanks for this interview. I've been listening to Scofield for 30 years and learnt a lot. What a great conversation.
Awesome conversation, so friendly, natural and honest. A true jewel.
I'm so glad to live in the same timeline as John Scofield-what a living legend. I'm so grateful for this incredible interview. 100 thank-yous, Pablo!
Fantastic stories, my favourite modern guitarist, in my opinion the best band was the first with Lovano, from 89 to 92. Pure genius.
Great Interview….thx👏👏👏👏👏

John THX 4 everything!! WOW!! Pablo keep on goin' THX 2 !!
Pablo you’re a gem! Keep doing you

Clark Terry, I think said: Imitation, Assimilation, Innovation. But I'm sure similar sentiments have been expressed by others. Cheers!

What a nice person John is!... apart from being a guitar genius.
Ya Know about 150 times buddy. You got licks, but a very limited sense of grammar and vocabulary.
