Dive into the soothing and introspective world of jazz with John Scofield's "A Moment's Peace," a 2011 studio album that stands out as one of the guitarist's most relaxed and contemplative works. Released under Universal Music Group International, this album features a stellar lineup with keyboardist Larry Goldings, bassist Scott Colley, and drummer Brian Blade, creating a rich tapestry of sounds that blend jazz fusion, jazz funk, jazz blues, and soul jazz seamlessly.
"A Moment's Peace" spans a generous 64 minutes, offering 13 tracks that range from the soulful "I Loves You Porgy" to the upbeat "Gee Baby Ain't I Good To You." The album's title track, "A Moment's Peace," sets the tone with its laid-back vibe, while "Already September" and "You Don't Know What Love Is" showcase Scofield's signature guitar work, blending bitter-sweet harmonies with casually negotiated bop runs. The album's diversity ensures there's something for every jazz enthusiast, from the bohemian-inclined to the casual listener.
The album's release date is noted as January 1, 2011, although it appears to have been officially released on September 27, 2011. This slight discrepancy adds a touch of intrigue to the album's backstory. Whether you're a longtime fan of John Scofield or a newcomer to his music, "A Moment's Peace" promises a rich and rewarding listening experience.
