John Scofield is really new to me and I was surprised that in fact, sometime in the 80s I ever
bought this album in a cassette format. When I spun it recently I was surprised for two reasons:
first, the quality of the record is excellent even though this is just a cassette that I purchased
decades ago; second, the musical quality of John Scofield is very good. I was impressed, in
fact, when first heard the opening track "Blue Matter" with its relatively complex composition
demonstrating how masterful he plays guitar. But, not only that ... I find the drummer also plays
excellently combined with solid basslline. Once I listened to it I then kept playing the cassette.
Oh yes, Blue Matter brings the album as an interesting one to enjoy - especially those who love
solid basslines with dynamic beats in jazz-style. Through this track I understand why this
musician is featured in this site as the music is not just having pure jazz style, it combines nicely
with rock as well.I think I do enjoy almost all tracks in this album especially the next two tracks "Trim" and "Heaven Hill". "Trim" most much more dynamic compared to title track and from this track I can recognize further how excellent the drums and bass guitar works. There is a stunning guitar solo in the middle augmented by solid basslines. "Now She's Blonde" is also enjoyable and it has more prog components compared to the other tracks. "Make Me" is also really good one. Overall, this is a very good album by John Scofield and it will satisfy those of you who love jazz- rock fusion kind of music. Keep on proggin' ..! Peace on earth and mercy mild - GW
