Still Warm after all these years

First, let me say that "Still Warm" means a lot to me personally, so this review is going to reflect that. I discovered this album entirely by accident shortly after it was released. It somehow turned up in the tiny record department of the military exchange at Fort Richardson, Alaska. I was a 21 year old soldier and aspiring professional guitarist. I had no idea what I was going to hear, but something told me it wasn't going to sound like AC/DC. "Still Warm" came along at exactly the time I needed to learn that there was more out there than the same old rock and roll. It is a perfect bridge into this style--the playing is great, but not too complicated for someone just discovering jazz. The rhythm section is super tight, and Sco's compositions and playing are just fantatstic. There's a lot of funk influence along with the jazz-rock fusion vibe. "Still Warm" opened the door to a whole other world of music and it literally changed my life. I've been playing and teaching professionally for many years now and owe a great debt to Mr. Scofield. This is great, great music, highly recommended.
