Jazz Film: Inside Scofield
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
INSIDE SCOFIELD is the in-depth portrayal of the life of the acclaimed jazz musician John Scofield. Entirely narrated by himself, Scofield embarks on an inspiring trip into the mind and soul of one of today’s greats of contemporary jazz. Shaped and inspired by Scofield‘s work, the film is simultaneously a celebration of his creative impact as of true friendship, free communication and courage towards human imperfection, an essential element in jazz.
From the fast-paced life on the road to the seclusive life at home in Katonah to memorable times in his old neighborhood in New York, where Jazz moved on to another level and where he kicked off his career. Along the way, Scofield answers the crucial questions of music: What is improvisation? What has changed over the last 40 years of constant touring as a “Road Dog”, how has this change affected the music, and how can one sustain its quality?
It‘s an incredibly intimate portrayal of the devotion to maintaining a career in music while appreciating being a human playing together with other humans.
