His tone was unreal for this show. This is the best fusion of blues and jazz phrasing ever. This style is very unique, and very hard to imitate. Probably the best blues guitarist in the world right now.
Matt Scohfield's band sounds so similar to the great Robben Ford. I never new about him and discovered his music on a blues radio station. This is cool stuff and I am looking forward to the purchase of one of his albums for my car.
Iam a bassplayer…..but iam a great fan of Matt! Doesn’t care John plays the bass on his keys! The sound and feel of Matt is unusual good! In Holland he plays with the guys from “King Of the World”….with Ruud Weber on the bass, Govert on B3…..i was there in the Vorstin…! Like like!
This guy is amazing Has an awesome tone, just impressive and the way he plays is so fresh and classy. I think he's the best blues player today without any doubt.
Thanks for that tip about Eric Gales. I've never heard of him before and I'm going to take a look now. I love Matt Schofield, got all his CDs and seen him live loads of times so if Eric Gales is as good then I know I'm going to like him. Cheers.
Love his playing and I love that color strat. Lets not talk 'best' cause we all know there are too manys to be 'one' . Let not forget Eric Gales another amazing musician whos playing totally "connects"
Jazz was born out of the blues! so ..... why not Jazz up the blues? ... for me ....a blues player who has been on the road for over 40 years... Mr Scofield is an evolutionary move forward!...... being a purist is not the way forward ! I am sure that Albert King /Collins, Robert Johnson, Leadbelly, Big Bill Broonsy,Josh White etc! would delight in Matt Scoffield's contribution ! The important thing to consider in all genre's of music is to remain true and creative! certainly Matt fulfills that!!
Why all the hate of Joe Bonamassa? He is a talented, versatile, incredibly hard working guitarist who produces fantastic music. My favourite current blues artists are Matt Schofield, Joe Bonamassa, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Jack White and Oli Brown. They are all bringing blues back in their own way.
I agree he's very good and def. an original sound and great tone and style but IMHO Eric Gales is the best blues guitarist in the world right now. If you haven't heard him yet check him out, absolutely amazing guitarist and great vocalist as well. I love both matt schofield and Eric gales. actually they've jammed together several times just search youtube amazing performances
Matt is such a well phrasing player. THE BEST HERE: key and bass from one Player. Very very well. Playin hammond solo and bass at a time. Who says only women are able to do a lot things at a time? Laugh!!!
