I love to make real jazz-improvising statements in live situations with two of my favorite musicians, Scofield says. Its challenging. You dont rely on arrangements as much as the intuitive way we play together. You rely on good playing knowing that theres no safety net involved. Were three musicians with a special synergy that unfolds between us. Its impossible to judge your own work completely, but I think the Trio format is always some of my best playing. We hook up as a group and it brings us to satisfying places. ---Seats are assigned by date of purchase.
