This CD, along with Time on My Hands together with What We Do, is an particular showcase for Scofield together with Lovano. Johnson together with Stewart lay downwardly roughly of the best beat department playing--enhanced past times Sco's creative comping--recorded inwards the 90's. The tunes are beautiful together with inventive throughout, the solos are out of this basis (particularly on Go Blow together with Big Fan--I however can't figure out how they come upward inwards on the out-head subsequently Lovano's solo), together with the ensemble telepathy is undeniable.

The twelvemonth was 1990 together with the quartet featured Joe Lovano on tenor saxophone & alto clarinet, Marc Johnson on bass, Bill Stewart on drums together with of course of teaching the keen homo himself on guitar.
I dear anything John Scofield does. His guitar sounds much to a greater extent than muted these days; this album is from dorsum when it however used to wail a little. The uptempo tunes are bright plenty exactly it's the ballads on this album that decease to me; The beautiful "Keep Me In Mind", "The Guinness Spot", "Meant To Be" together with "French Flics" are worth the toll of the CD all past times themselves. But other favourites are "Chariots", "Mr. Coleman To You" (a tribute to Ornette?) together with the weird together with wonderful "Lost In Space". Scofield writes all songs, naturally.
With keen input from all iv members of the quartet, this album has a real similar vibe to the 2002 "scolohofo" projection which featured Scofield together with Lovano with Dave Kingdom of the Netherlands together with Al Foster, then if you lot liked that I mean value you'll similar this. (And if you lot similar this of course of teaching I mean value you'll similar THAT!)
Modern jazz at its best for sure.
