...Lobbying by spouses is legal if it stays within certain boundaries-staffers are generally not supposed to get their spouses special access-but can be controversial. Lewis spokesman John Scofield referred TIME to attorney William Oldaker, who said he helped Shockey and his wife keep the arrangement legal. Oldaker drafted a letter in which Lewis last May told the House ethics committee Shockey "will not involve himself in any matter in which his spouse is representing a client." The letter did not bar Shockey from work related to his own former clients, but Scofield says Shockey nonetheless informally recuses himself...
...Electric Bebop Band, where he flourished throughout the early 90s. Since then, Rosenwinkel has established himself as an original sound—not such an easy thing to do in a jazz scene crammed with guitarists and appraised by critics who claim that Pat Metheny and John Scofield have already closed the book on the instrument. It helped that Rosenwinkel came to prominence at the same time a group of young New York musicians was getting ready to redefine the jazz idiom. Rosenwinkel earned his stripes by gigging with other young lions such as pianist Brad Mehldau and bassist Larry...
...parents, a guard hump a secretary in the break room (to table-shaking effect), and a mobster get stabbed in the eye with a shattered light bulb. On Monday night, in a particularly laughable scene, we found out from his psychiatrist that the show’s hero Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) is, through a jumble of expert technical terms, very smart and empathetic. Scofield, you see, intentionally landed himself in the big house in order to hatch an intricate plan to spring his wrongfully-convicted brother before said brother’s scheduled execution. You?...
...John Scofield, in all his bespectacled and graying glory, may seem an unlikely candidate to spearhead a Ray Charles revival. Indeed, when one considers Scofield’s extensive jazz pedigree, his compatibility with the Charles oeuvre seems questionable. But while his twistedly vertical guitar style may have conflicted with the source material at times, nearly everyone at the show thought it was a success. This past Thursday and Friday, John Scofield (guitar/mastermind), John Benitez (bass), Steve Hass (drums), Gary Versace (keys/Hammond) and Meyer Statham (vocals/trombone) played four shows at the Charles Hotel’s renowned Regattabar jazz club...
...legend Bill Evans. Since then he has served as a steady if largely overlooked sideman in numerous small groups. On this album, only his third as a bandleader, Johnson slides contentedly into the backseat, allowing the other members of a distinguished ensemble, including saxophonist Joe Lovano and guitarist John Scofield, to steer the listener through 10 intricate, moody melodies. The tempo rarely rises above a moderate shuffle, giving Lovano and Scofield space for lush, lilting solos, while Johnson, pianist Eliane Elias and drummer Joey Baron conjure a swirling, hypnotic soundscape--the perfect backdrop for a rainy autumn afternoon. --By Romesh...
