John Scofield

Описание: John Scofield was born on December 26, 1951, in Dayton, Ohio. As of January 2026, he remains a vital and active figure in the music world, with no year of death recorded. Raised in Connecticut, Scofield is a virtuoso guitarist and composer who successfully bridged the gaps between jazz, funk, rock, and blues. He refined his craft at the Berklee College of Music before collaborating with masters such as Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker, and Charles Mingus in the mid-1970s.
A transformative achievement in his career was his three-year tenure with Miles Davis (1982–1985), where his unique "across-the-beat" phrasing and funk-inflected improvisation redefined contemporary fusion. Recognized as a pioneer of the 1980s jazz landscape, his evolution is marked by landmark albums like Shinola, Still Warm, and the critically acclaimed A Go Go recorded with Medeski Martin & Wood. His ability to innovate within both electric and acoustic settings has earned him multiple Grammy Awards and a permanent place among the giants of the genre.

Born in the state where the winter winds blow cold
Ohio paths with a melody to find
Looking for blues in the center of the mind
Searching for truth in a story that is old

Studying hard with the giants of the string
Boston will teach how the harmony can flow
Letting the flame and the energy just grow
Hearing the bird and the angel start to sing

Guitar of funk with a very sharp delay
Warping the time on a bridge of neon light
Shining so bright in the middle of the night
Finding the way to the music of the day

Miles in the dark with a trumpet made of glass
Learning to groove in the pocket of the beat
Walking along on a very dusty street
Watching the years and the many moments pass

Bending the notes like a river in the sun
Blending the rock with the spirit of the bop
Climbing the hill to the very highest top
Having a blast when the playing has begun

Guitar of funk with a very sharp delay
Warping the time on a bridge of neon light
Shining so bright in the middle of the night
Finding the way to the music of the day

Legends of jazz in a circle of the soul
Playing the chords that will open every heart
Master of soul with a vision of the art
Keeping the light just to make the story whole

Guitar of funk with a very sharp delay
Warping the time on a bridge of neon light
Shining so bright in the middle of the night
Finding the way to the music of the day
