John Scofield's airy and instantly recognizable guitar is featured in a sparse quartet on this Blue Note CD. He performs 11 of his quirky compositions which, although occasionally hinting at Charles Mingus or Ornette Coleman, are true originals with new chord changes and sly unpredictable melodies. Bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Jack DeJohnette, both experts at utilizing space as part of the music, fit in perfectly with Scofield and display fire and swing in the appropriate spots. Joe Lovano's tenor also has its own sound and his stimulating solos consistently inspire Scofield. Recommended.

Prächtig reiben sich Joe Lovanos Saxophonklänge und John Scofields rauhe, knallige Gitarre. Nervös zischelt Jack DeJohnettes Schlagzeug, und souverän pumpt Charlie Hadens Baß: So macht die Begegnung von elektrischem und akustischem Jazz Spaß. Die vier Weltklasse-Musiker lassen Lücken, in denen sich die Phantasie des Hörers austoben kann - und führen sie dabei durch klare Melodien auf kühlen Bahnen voran. Dieses Quartett musiziert so intensiv, als sei es ein einziger, homogener Organismus. Dennoch behält jeder seine Individualität.

In the past, US guitarist John Scofield has explored the jazz-rock fusion to good effect, but recent times have seen him sliding back into a straight jazz bag. It's a courageous move commercially, because he'll surely lose some of the support he's so painstakingly accumulated; but you could make out no more convincing artistic case for it than this album, which sees him effortlessly move up into the jazz heavyweight division. Blistering solos, well-crafted compositions and a nicely balanced mood mix for the whole set; brilliant accompaniment from Charlie Haden, Jack De Johnette and underrated saxophonist Joe Lovano; and he hasn't even lost his knack for catchy licks and song titles, both evidenced on So Sue Me. NB: it's worth shelling out for the CD, which boasts three bonus tracks.

Recommended as one of the five best jazz albums of 1990 - "...Scofield's best record yet, not just for his own bluesy muscularity but for the strength of his compositions, this time flavoured with a powerful taste of Mingus..."
