Scott Kinsey

Sound Without a Map

Keyboardist, composer and producer Scott Kinsey has forged a singular voice at the intersection of jazz, fusion and electronic music. A longtime member of Tribal Tech and close musical collaborator of Joe Zawinul, Kinsey combines fearless improvisation, deep groove and a distinctly modern approach to keyboards and synthesis.

His new album, Thought Distortions, brings that musical identity into sharp focus — adventurous, uncompromising and unmistakably his own.
