John Scofield's bent, blues-soaked, slightly out-of-key lines made him one of the most recognizable jazz guitarists since the 1980s, from his stint with Miles Davis to his groove records with Medeski Martin & Wood. His solos mix bebop vocabulary with gritty overdrive and a funky sense of rhythm that few players can match.
