    About Electrospective

    At Town Hall, John Scofield brings **Electrospective** to New York City as a focused look at his long-running relationship with electric guitar and the hybrid language it helped him build. The set draws on the porous borders between jazz, funk, blues, soul, and rock, a thread running through a career that has also intersected with Miles Davis’s electric-era orbit. Town Hall’s history as a civic concert room gives the music a clear frame: improvisation treated as public record. The program suggests that amplification can be a compositional tool, not just volume.
