Jazz guitarist John Scofield to perform at Lewis & Clark College, Nov. 21 vious 20 years. Appropriately titled “Q uiet,” it showcased Scofield on acoustic guitar in the company of an expanded horn ensemble. Born in Ohio in 1951, Scofield was raised in suburban Wilton, Conn. He picked up guitar at age 11. Inspired by rock musi cians, he gravitated toward blues, then jazz. He attended the Berklee College o f Music in Boston, Mass., from 1970 to 1973. After graduation, Scofield toured with saxophonist Gerry Mulligan and later joined the high-energy George Duke-Billy Cobham band. The exposure led to tours and recordings with Charles Mingus, Chet Baker, Gary Burton and others. In 1982, Scofield joined Davis’ band and co-wrote songs for three o f Davis’ albums. In addition to leading his own band since 1985, Scofield has performed with major talents such as Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Jim Hall.

Three of Scofield’s Blue Note record ings reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard jazz chart. He has recorded more than 24 critically acclaimed albums. Scofield re corded his latest album, “A Go Go,” with the modern funk/jazz trio Medesk, Martin & Wood.
