John Scofield – Live (Enja/Inner City, 1978)

John Scofield (g); Richie Beirach (p); George Mraz (b); Joe LaBarbera (d)

Recorded on July 4, 1977

This is John Scofield's first album as a leader.  Even at this early point in his career, he had already developed his distinctive sound -- although his approach continued to evolve.  

He's supported by a killer rhythm section.

Scofield's second album for Enja, Rough House, is also excellent.
