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. His record
ings, many already classics, in
clude collaborations with con
temporary favorites such as Pat
Metheny, Bill Frisell, Joe Lovano
and the late Eddie Harris.
The Jazz Society of Oregon
and KMHD 89.1 FM are co
sponsoring Scofield’s perfor
mances at Lewis & Clark.

Scofield will perform his brand
of electric jazz, funk and fusion,
during two concerts, one show

Lewis & Clark College, 0615

gan, bass.
Scofield has enjoyed award
winning recording for Blue Note
Records, a three-year stint in
Miles Davis’ band in the ’80s,
and a whirlwind career as a trail
blazer o f ’70s electric jazz. 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.
His Verve debut in 1996 was a
surprising departure from the
electric jazz path that he had
paved for himself over the pre-
