Who's Who? features guitarist
John Scofield (who was then 27) searching for his own sound. Four of the selections have
Scofield backed by a light funky quartet, while two other pieces feature him with three notable jazzmen: saxophonist
Dave Liebman, bassist
Eddie Gomez, and drummer
Billy Hart. The problem with this date is that
Scofield is a much stronger guitarist than he is a composer, and none of his complex melodies are all that memorable. This set is recommended mostly for
John Scofield completists; other listeners are advised to pick up his more recent releases instead. ~ Scott Yanow
