Larry Carlton, who is every bit Scofield's equal on the instrument
But I've never heard him play anything I'd call jazz ;-}
Go back and listen to some of the stuff he played with the Jazz Crusaders if you're expecting a more "mainstream" or "old school" genre. He's BTDT, and moved on to his own thing. One thing I'll say in passing, I've never heard Carlton playing anything that wasn't tasty, never inappropriate, and I've only heard a few things of Sco's even worth listening to. His attitude reminds me of Mike Bloomfield's; when he put out an album of out of tune cuts, he rationalized it by saying "That's just how I felt that day." Bullshit. :) Carlton always tells a story, and that's what I aspire to do too, always have.
