Desires with Peter Erskine, Bill Frisell, and Scofield. This "most auspicious [pairing] since John
McLaughlin and Carlos Santana"[9] recorded two albums, Bass Desires (1986) and Second Sight
(1987).

At the beginning of the 1990s, Scofield formed a quartet that

included Joe Lovano with whom he recorded several albums
for Blue Note.[10] Time on My Hands (1990), with Joe Lovano,
Charlie Haden, and Jack DeJohnette, showcased Scofield's
guitar and Mingus-influenced writing. Bill Stewart became the
group's drummer and played on Meant to Be (1991) and What
We Do (1993). In 1992, Scofield released Grace Under
Pressure, featuring guitarist Bill Frisell, with Charlie Haden on
bass and Joey Baron on drums. Stewart rejoined Scofield and
Steve Swallow for I Can See Your House from Here, a
collaboration with Pat Metheny.

Near the end of his time with Blue Note, Scofield returned to a
sound that included more funk and soul jazz. In 1994 and 1995,
he formed a group with organist/pianist Larry Goldings, bassist
Onstage in 2004 Dennis Irwin, and alternating drummers, Bill Stewart and Idris
Muhammad. The group toured extensively, and the albums
Hand Jive and Groove Elation feature this funk/groove/soul-
jazz dimension in Scofield's music with tenor saxophonist Eddie Harris, percussionist Don Alias,
and trumpeter Randy Brecker. He recorded the 1997 album A Go Go with avant-garde jazz trio
Medeski, Martin & Wood.

Also during this period he began to work with British composer Mark-Anthony Turnage. He
appeared as a soloist on Turnage's Blood on the Floor: Elegy for Andy. They collaborated on
Scorched, an album of Turnage's orchestrations of Scofield's compositions, largely from the Blue
Matter period. John Patitucci and Peter Erskine performed at the live premiere of Scorched at the
Alte Oper in Frankfurt in September 2002 with the Radio-Symphony-Orchestra Frankfurt and the
hr-Bigband. The performance was recorded and released by Deutsche Grammophon.[11]

Scofield released Überjam in 2002 and Up All Night in 2003, two albums on which he
experimented with drum and bass. He recorded in Europe with the Bugge Wesseltoft New
Conception of Jazz in 2001–2002 and 2006. In 2004 EnRoute: John Scofield Trio LIVE was
released with Steve Swallow on bass and Bill Stewart on drums. It was recorded live at the Blue
Note Jazz Club in New York City in December 2003. This was followed the next year by That's
What I Say: John Scofield Plays the Music of Ray Charles. This led to performances with Mavis
Staples, Gary Versace on organ, John Benitez on bass, and Steve Hass on drums. After sitting in for
two engagements in December 2005 with Phil Lesh and Friends, Scofield has since played
numerous shows with the band.

On September 26, 2006 he released Out Louder, his second collaboration with Medeski, Martin &
Wood.[12] The group, known collectively as MSMW, toured worldwide in 2006 and 2007. Scofield
performed in a duo with John Medeski named The Johns and in a trio with Medeski and drummer
Adam Deitch. He recorded music inspired by gospel on the 2009 album Piety Street with Jon
Cleary and George Porter Jr.

On September 18, 2007, EmArcy released This Meets That, an album recorded with Steve Swallow,
Bill Stewart, and a horn trio. In 2011 EmArcy released A Moment's Peace, recorded with pianist
Larry Goldings, bassist Scott Colley, and drummer Brian Blade. Scofield's 2010 album 54 had its
origin in the 1990s when Vince Mendoza asked him to play on his first album. As director of the
Metropole Orchestra, Mendoza collaborated with Scofield on arrangements of Scofield's
compositions that were performed by the orchestra.
