John Scofield is one of the most influential guitarists working today. An essential component of Miles Davis’ groups in the 80s, the musical partner to both Pat Metheny and Bill Frisell and a recording artist in his own right, Scofield has inspired legions with his distinctive style.

In the first half Scofield plays with Bill Stewart and Steve Swallow for the first time in London.

In the second half he revisits an association with the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra that drew a fantastic response earlier this year, playing Scofield’s brilliant compositions as well as classics from the electric Miles era.

“Scofield’s guitar-playing is phenomenal: eloquent and full of surprises.” The Guardian
