JazzFest History
John Scofield
Instrument: Guitar
Born: Dayton, Ohio
"The thing that I like about music is that it really is history. Any good music, I think, is way rooted in the past, especially jazz music, where we're improvising. The longer you do it, the more you improvise things coming from your past."
- John Scofield
