The epic 2018 album from Jimmy Haslip (Yellowjackets, Oz Noy), Scott Kinsey and Hungarian drummer Gergo Borlai! Also features Vinnie Colaiuta, Gary Novak, Steve Tavaglione and Judd Miller on select tracks.
Kinsey's 2016 recording, Near Life Experience, was a multi-year production taking place all over the world, with diverse elements filtered through Scott's vivid imagination. The album includes contributions by Michael Landau (guitar), Lalah Hathaway (vocals), Cyril Atef (drums) and a special double-drum feature with Kirk Covington and Danny Carey battling it out. Frequent collaborators like Steve Tavaglione, Matthew Garrison, Hadrien Feraud, Tim Lefevbre, Jimmy Earl, Gary Novak, Gergo Borlai, Arto Tuncboyaciyan and other incredible musicians come together in Kinsey's vision of what creative, "no categories" music can be.
Deeply into the traditions of Weather Report and the Zawinul Syndicate, the modern supergroup Human Element is comprised of Scott Kinsey (keyboards), Matthew Garrison (bass), Gary Novak (drums) and Arto Tuncboyacian (percussion & vocals). This was their phenomenal debut album from 2011. “Human Element incorporates elements of fusion, funk and Armenian folk tunes into a potent 21st century brew that defies easy categorization.” –- Bill Milkowski, DownBeat

Keyboard savant and Tribal Tech veteran Scott Kinsey has developed a new musical interest in vocal discovery Mer Sal. Adjustments, their forthcoming album, is a vocal recording within a fusion instrumental soundtrack. Says Kinsey, “After working for years with lots of guitarists and saxophonists, I’ve come to realize that the voice is in many ways the most expressive instrument of all.”
He once again achieves his signature vibe, aided and abetted by an amazing roster of musicians. But Sal channels this energy into a more thematic direction, with provocative statements about the transition from darker phases into positive change. The album offers a collection of timely originals, while the duo also reimagines rock classics like “Feel Flows” (The Beach Boys), “Time Out of Mind” (Steely Dan) and “Down to You” (Joni Mitchell), as well as “Jungle Book,” an iconic Weather Report track penned by Joe Zawinul.
Join Scott Kinsey on the next leg of a 3-decade musical journey, at once rooted in electric jazz history and blazing a new path with visionary singer-songwriter Mer Sal.
In 1992, ace guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel and old friend Scott Kinsey co-led a 4-track EP, a complex and tasteful mix of funk, modern jazz harmonies and sonic exploration. Though this record was vast in its scope and innovative energy, it never saw the light of day until now. Do It 1992 is a time capsule, a journey into two young and bright creative minds working as one entity on these never-before-heard tracks.
