In his first solo guitar recording, John Scofield unites all the styles and influences he has developed throughout his career. Using a loop machine, he demonstrates his guitar skills, creating his own rhythmic pulse and chord accompaniment. Alongside jazz, Scofield has always had a fondness for country music and rock 'n' roll from his youth, which is reflected in his distinctive interpretations of Hank Williams' "You Win Again" and Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away." Scofield offers timeless original compositions—both new and familiar—ranging from sophisticated interpretations of the traditional "Danny Boy" and Keith Jarrett's "Coral" to standards like "It Could Happen To You." For the guitarist, it's all about "how you get the sound out of the strings and what you do with it after you strike the note."
