Title: Scofield Scores Mildly . . .
Review: As a person who hasn't heard much of John Scofield's work, I can only judge it against the other album I've heard -- "A Go Go." "Bump" isn't quite as good but in the ol' ballpark. Scofield's brand of jazz/rock is appealing, energetic and inventive. He'll hit you with the fusion stick and then rip into Benson-esque arpeggios, adding needed variety. Unfortunately, I often wanted Scofield to blaze away, hitting the whammy bar a little more, etc. Apparently Scofield doesn't have much Hendrix in him. And that's too darn bad!
