LPR Presents: JOHN SCOFIELD'S "ELECTROSPECTIVE"
About This Event
Guitarist and composer John Scofield brings his program "Electrospective" to Town Hall, offering a concentrated survey of his electric work. A veteran of collaborations with figures such as Miles Davis, Scofield has long blended jazz with funk, blues, soul and rock; this program frames that cross-genre approach within a single evening.
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.
