John Scofield
Usher Hall, Edinburgh, Thu 9 Feb; Old Fruitmarket, Glasgow, Fri 10 Feb
The UK premiere performances of Mark Anthony Turnage’s Scorched will feature the talents of American jazz stars John Scofield, John Patitucci and Peter Erskine in partnership with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.
The English composer is a long-standing admirer of Scofield’s work, and Scorched is a development of Blood on the Floor, an earlier piece involving
the guitarist and originally written for Ensemble Modern. From there, Turnage
suggested making arrangements — what he describes as ‘re-contextualising’ - of tunes by Scofield, which provides the source of the title, derived from
‘SCofield ORCHestratED’.
Describing the genesis of the piece, the composer says: ‘Two of the movements actually began as encores for Blood on the Floor. This was back in 1996, and John was very enthusiastic about taking it further.’
The score combines jazz improvisation with full orchestration in exciting and imaginative fashion. Turnage has worked with jazz musicians before, including American saxophonist Joe Lovano with the SCO last year, but he doesn’t agree that he is carrying any particular torch for that generic fusion.
'l’m attracted to their qualities as musicians - they happen to be jazz musicians, and I like the real individuality they have in the way they play. Of course I’m interested in jazz as a form, but I haven’t been going out specifically to try to blend the two. It’s not a big campaign, but I love working with these musicians, and I have a feeling now that John and I may work together quite regularly.’ (Kenny Mathieson)
