Who's Who? is a 1979 studio album by American jazz guitarist John Scofield. It features an acoustic band on two tracks (including Scofield's then-employer Dave Liebman on saxophones, bassist Eddie Gómez and drummer Billy Hart), and an electric group (keyboardist Kenny Kirkland, bass guitarist Anthony Jackson, percussionist Sammy Figueroa and drummer Steve Jordan) on the remaining four tracks. The bonus tracks added in 1990 were originally from the 1980 album Bar Talk (issued only in Japan), that had introduced the “John Scofield Trio” with bass guitarist Steve Swallow and drummer Adam Nussbaum.
