John Scofield: A Moment's Peace

Lest we forget the need for respite at the end of the day, there's John Scofield to remind us. I was expecting the jubilant jazz serving from Sco (A Go Go/ Bump) but that's not the case here. There is this stern embrace of down-tempo music as if a reminder that the genre's fine moments are the ones done not in due haste. Guitar-wise, I dare say I'm hearing a slightly different guitar tone coming from his Ibanez; the raspy overdrive is full & present but it seems that there's a touch of top end roundness this time round. A Moment's Peace is my current end-of-the-day music, just something to relax to & feel the burden of work exfoliating from the miserable soul.
