    Srry gingervytis, you must have been in a bad mood when you listened to this :) Scofield never plays the same thing twice, makes 0 mistakes, is able to shift mood effortlessly and even adds in a few be-boppy licks just to keep it spicy. Also, he pulled off a convincing flat 9 at about 8:30. And notice how he really embraces the space between the notes at the beginning. There's a lot here you apparently didn't hear... but I'll forgive you :)

    Those who are picking apart this performance are missing may great aspects. Sco ROCKS the intro solo. The amp fails and he's completely out of the mix while Haynes kicks out the first couple verses. And then seamlessly Sco drops right in for the solo section.

      Word. He _underplays_ most of the time, which is super-rare. I put one of his solos from _Blue_Matter_ on repeat just because he left me hanging so bad with a solo that started to smolder and then ended. That's hard to do; he has great restraint and musical vision.

Maybe instead get down into the vibe and forget all the bullshit if you intend to ever play what could remotely be describe as music or musical. If you don't understand don't bother.
