His distinctive, slightly strained sound singles him out, and his versatile playing combines influences from post-bop, funk and R&B: American guitarist John Scofield is one of the icons of jazz. For decades, the US-American has performed worldwide in a great variety of formations – but almost never alone. Scofield has now recorded a solo programme exclusively for his Elbphilharmonie Session.

»I have played with bands my whole life. That was the reason I started to play the guitar. Solo guitar is really hard, you have to go through all kinds of leaps and bounds and technical stuff. But then they invented a sampler pedal, with which I can make little accompaniments on the fly. That has allowed me to do a whole concert – being able to play with myself.«
– John Scofield
