John Scofield is one of my favorite jazz-guitarists. In fact, he gets away with using an effect I don't like and I still love his playing! This video is on probably my favorite John Scofield solo: Milestones of the Joe Henderson album So Near, So Far (which is anyway a fantastic album). Milestones is a very difficult chord progression to solo on, but John Scofield really nails it with a lot of different approaches, pentatonics, and reharmonizations.
