Aggie87 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Scofield plays well on the Trio Beyond release, which is a tribute to Tony Williams' Lifetime, alongside Jack DeJohnette and Larry Goldings. I'd be curious about your impressions of his playing here, Larry. Edited March 2, 2013 by Aggie87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Kart Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Scofield plays well on the Trio Beyond release, which is a tribute to Tony Williams' Lifetime, alongside Jack DeJohnette and Larry Goldings. I'd be curious about your impressions of his playing here, Larry. I don't particularly like (or perhaps that should be trust) the frequency and amount of what might be called "skrontch" (sp?) in his playing here, but there's certainly a good deal of agile thinking involved.

JSngry Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Also, I don't get that cut as a tribute to Lifetime (other than the opening bit) when it comes time to jam, it goes to Meter Land...not that I'll complain about that, although why not go straight to the source and save yourself 8-9 minutes? Time ain't cheap, ya' know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time ain't cheap, ya' know. Yeah, that cut may not be representative in that sense, the whole album/band was intended as a tribute, I think. I picked that one from youtube because there wasn't a whole lot to pick from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Kart Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Also, see p. 21-22 here (put Skrontch in the search box) about the origins and nature of the piece (an Ellington number):http://www.amazon.com/Duke-Ellingtons-Music-Theatre-Franceschina/dp/0786408561/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1362257683&sr=1-1&keywords=Duke+Ellington's+music+for+the+theatre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I'm not a huge fan of Scofield or Metheny, but this album is quite simply fantastic. I was glad I got it when I did because it made me seek out Bill Stewart's Blue Note releases. Which went out of print for around a decade shortly after. Haven't listened to it for maybe 6-8 years, but will dust it off now. Thanks, Larry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I've heard "skronk" used to apply to Branford Marsalis' outside playing , like "The Dark Keys" or "Bloomington". I've said it often on this board but "Saudades" is a disc I've spun regularly since it came out. I find it that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
