The album he released in 1986, before his individuality fully exploded, is Still Warm.
The title track, Still Warm, is a laid-back piece characterized by floating chords and a smooth sound, and the phrases—underpinned by John’s unique sense of rhythm that was evident even back then—are seriously cool.
Thanks AgainJohn Scofield4rank/position
A musician active in sessions and as a solo artist, well-known to fans of jazz and fusion: John Scofield.
This track is a remarkably cool, mature piece that might make you do a double take—an adult, sultry thank-you song.
His signature lines, which sound deliberately off-pitch, create a unique tension through a complex theory known as the Combination of Diminished Scale.

Included on the 2003 album “Up All Night.” It’s a number by the R&B group The Dramatics, performed by John Scofield.

The part in the latter half where the horn section comes in is irresistible.
