Title: John Scofield Rough House
Review: Actually I feel this is essential Scofield. It has a more straight ahead sound at a very high level of musicianship. Very few guitarists are able to negotiate soloing through Coltrane "Giant Steps" style chord changes evident in "Aeleron". Scofield does this with ease like bread and butter. Except for the light overdriven (juicy) sound of his Gibson 335 guitar, which I prefer over his current instrument, this is a no frills bebop CD laden with the classic Scofield signature. You know its him right away. There are a lot of notes being played, but they are quality notes. Hal Galper doesn't play around on this one either. Highly recommended listening for jazz guitar fans.
