Might you be thinking of him? http://www.progreviews.com/reviews/display.php?rev=md-agh Even though the genre and bands you mentioned received much scathing from the critics(what do ever they know anyway)-it ws some great stuff. i saw he original Mahavishnu and RTF with Al DiMeola. Never saw Weather Report or Jaco Pastorious though. Sco should be great-he's a gifted and versatile musician. Great that something of this level is happening so close to home.

I had a period where I was really into jazz fusion and listened to lots of Mahavishnu and Return to Forever and Weather Report and such. I'll report back how the Scofield show was.

Sco is such a versatile and fluid player... That'll be awesome. As for Miles, it was John McLaughlin (future fame: Mahavishnu Orchestra) who played with Miles on the Bitches Brew sessions (and then played on Miles' Jack Johnson album, which has some of the coolest guitar work ever, but I digress...). Anyway... Enjoy. :-) Yeah, man… that should be great! Sco is such a versatile and fluid player… That’ll be awesome.
