John Scofield in concert
Live music from guitar great John Scofield and the Danish Radio Big Band. Plus creative vocalist and violinist Alice Zawadzki on the music that inspires her.
Jumoké Fashola presents a concert from the topflight Danish Radio Big Band with special guest John Scofield. Over the course of his 50-year career, Scofield has worked with many of the biggest names in jazz. He made his recording debut with Chet Baker and Gerry Mulligan and went on to work with Charles Mingus and Miles Davis, carving out a signature sound influenced by blues and rock as well as mainstream jazz tradition. Backed by the DR Big Band he performs some large-scale arrangements of his tunes, full of bluesy melodies and explosive solos.
Also in the programme, Anglo-Polish vocalist and violinist Alice Zawadzki shares some of the music that inspires her, including pieces by Bartok and much-loved South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela.
Produced by Dominic Tyerman for Somethin’ Else.
