Quiet is an album by jazz guitarist John Scofield . As with his 1992 album Grace Under Pressure , Scofield chose to integrate a horn section into his compositions. The album also features bass guitarist Steve Swallow (who was in Scofield's trio of 1980-1983), and drummer Bill Stewart . Quiet is unique in Scofield's discography as he plays only acoustic guitar. Veteran saxophonist Wayne Shorter appears on several tracks. Scofield returned to this album's format of a trio with orchestration on This Meets That in 2007.
