1. John Scofield Out Louder Rar Youtube

Pick Hits Live is a live album by the musician.One of guitarist best sessions for Gramavision, this live date features his regular band of the period, a quartet with keyboardist, electric bassist and drummer,who had been playing together regularly for a year at that point. Theclose communication between the musicians on such numbers as 'PickHits,' 'Protocol' and 'Blue Matter' could only come from the playersfully understanding each other's musical personalities. The music,electric but adventurous, funky but definitely exploratory jazz, isdifficult to describe, but easier for fans to enjoy.This album documents a 1987 Tokyo concert when, in Scofield's words,'the band and the audience came together and developed a specialmomentum of their own that only happens on our best nights.'

All of thestops are out here, as such favorites as 'Thanks Again,' 'Blue Matter'and 'Heaven Hill' are taken to new levels of intensity. Featuring theRobert Aries/Gary Grainger/Dennis Chambers rhythm section that had spentthe previous year touring with Scofield and perfecting theirtake-no-prisoners approach to his music.This cd is absolutely a milestone in jazz music. As much so as MilesDavis'or John Coletrane's contributions to the change in the landscapeand direction of jazz, John Scofields genious on this recording shines.Also the stellar, and at times unbeleiveaable performances of thefinest rhythm section to walk the earth: Jim Beard on keys, Gary (notTim) Grainger on Bass and Dennis Chambers on drums. It just doesn' getany better than this!

This recording is a 'must-have' for any seriousjazz musician.period!The cd, recorded live in Japan, features John Scofield's hottest band,with the amazing Dennis Chambers on drums, and Tim Granger on Bass. Thesongs come mainly from Blue Matter and Still Warm, both seminalScofield. Scofield himself tears up the fretboard. But don't expectmindless pyrotechnics. His phrasing is pure jazz, more idiomatic tothe sax than the guitar at times. To see Dennis Chambers live is arare treat. Hearing him drum here is a humbling experience.

Thedouble bass work alone is a clinic for aspiring drummers. The band isamazingly tight, navigating time signatures and breaks adroitly. Thedynamic range of the band makes each song a much more visceralexperience than the studio versions.This man plays many styles and hasplayed with many great musicians, but this live set is his best.

Theband is awesome especially the drummer Dennis Chambers. Gary Grainger onbass and Robert Aires on keyboards fill out this outstanding quartet.The first two cuts are fusion, the 3rd 'Heaven Hill' is a blues number,which any blues fan would love. On track 4, 'Protocol' this thing startsto cook and it doesn't stop until the end of 'Trim.' The rhythm sectionputs down an incredible beat that is the perfect background for some ofthe best fusion guitar this side of Mahavishnu.Track 7: 'Trim'is one of the best fusion tunes you will ever hear, it is 17 minutes ofWOW. This is the one that makes having this CD necessary.

'Georgia On MyMind' slows things down for a little while John solos on this classicsong. 'Make Me' is the perfect way to end this set. This is the wayfusion is supposed to sound and leaves you wanting more. John playsclassic jazz, funk, fusion, grove, and some smooth jazz: He neversounded better than he does here however. This is a 5 star, must havejazz classic.Track listing1.

A little pre-release goodness for you today; M(S)MW's new album, due out at the end of this month, don't sleep on it, there's some serious groove happening here.It's a match made not above nor below, but rather in some altogether hipper place: John Medeski + Billy Martin + Chris Wood + guitar guru John Scofield. On their new release OUT LOUDER, they make music not of this world, yet rooted in the earth tones of jazz, funk, and blues. Music from the heart, for the mind, and made to shake the earth, not to mention the body.Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood first recorded together on Scofield's A Go Go (Verve 1998), a disc that has become a must-have classic. That project united jazz guitarist Scofield with the improvisational jazz trio Medeski Martin & Wood on material composed by Scofield and interpreted by all four musicians. OUT LOUDER the inaugural release for MMW's own Indirecto Records label is Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood's first four-way collaborative recording.

'A Go Go was John's record and we were essentially sidemen, where OUT LOUDER musically comes from all of us' explains Wood. Scofield adds: 'We've always hit it off as a foursome, and I wanted to see what would happen if we did something that was a true collaboration, where everyone could play completely free.' Recorded in under a week at Shacklyn, MMW's fabled downtown Brooklyn studio, OUT LOUDER reeks of the scruffy, spirited basement in which it was created. 'Something about being down there made the music that much grungier,' says Wood. 'It gave us that feeling of being a hungry garage band searching for the coolest licks and grooves without worrying about making everything perfect. We could just let it all hang out. Everyone was set up in the same room with all our amps and equipment, and you could feel what everyone else was playing that much better and really react to everything around you.'

That, and the four musician's yen for jazz, funk, rock, soul and reggae, go a long way towards explaining why OUT LOUDER's deep grooves and sophisticated harmonies beg for closer inspection while simultaneously making you want to get up and dance. 'People connect with grooves and funk, they feel it in their gut,' says Medeski. 'We understand complex harmonies, but in the end we know that you don't have to play all those notes to connect with people. The groove and spirit is what connects with people.'

It developed over the 1980s and 1990s and could be seen as tacking the sound of jazz-funk onto electronic dance/ pop music. The compositions of groups such as The Brand New Heavies and Incognito often feature chord structures usually associated with Jazz music.

The Heavies in particular were known in their early years for beginning their songs as catchy pop and rapidly steering them into jazz territory before 'resolving' the composition and thus not losing any pop listeners but successfully 'exposing' them to jazz elements in 'baby steps'. The acid jazz 'movement' is also seen as a 'revival' of jazz-funk or jazz fusion or soul jazz by leading DJs such as Norman Jay or Gilles Peterson or Patrick Forge, also known as 'rare groove crate diggers'.
