Homer Simpson: "It's about time trees were good for something, instead of just standing around like jerks".
Jazz multi-keyboardist Scott Kinsey began studying piano at an early age and almost instantly became interested in the synthesizer. After graduating from Boston's Berklee College of Music in 1991, Scott moved to Los Angeles and was soon touring the world with the critically acclaimed electric jazz group “Tribal Tech”.
In addition to his work with Tribal Tech (feat. Scott Henderson and Gary Willis), Scott has performed and recorded with: James Moody, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Michael Landau (Live), Philip Bailey, Anne Sofie Von Otter, Bill Evans, Robben Ford, Gary Willis, WDR Big Band, Serj Tankian (System of a Down), David Holmes & The Free Association, Joe Zawinul, Danny Carey (TOOL), Norrbotten Big Band, Tim Hagans, Bob Belden, Nicholas Payton & Sonic Trance, Matt Garrison and many others.
Kinsey has also lent his record production skills to Philip Bailey (“Soul On Jazz”), Joe Zawinul (“Faces and Places”), Tim Hagans (Imagination Animation and ReAnimation - Both Grammy nominated) Tribal Tech (Reality Check,Thick,Rocket Science), Scott Henderson (Dog Party, Tore Down House) Gary Willis (Bent) and James Moody (“Homage”).
You can also hear Scott featured in the soundtracks to “Ocean’s Eleven”, “Code 46”, “Stander”, “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind”, “Brown Sugar”, “Analyze That!” and 2005’s hugely successful “Ocean’s Twelve”. New soundtracks include Bob Odenkirk's "Let's go to Prison", The Good German and "Smokin' Aces".
Scott, as an improvising synthesist, has always utilized the newest technology and is always striving to reach the improvisational potential of the synthesizer.
Scott released his solo CD, “Kinesthetics”, Oct of 2006 on Abstract Logix and Feb '07 on Joe Zawinul's record label BirdJam (BHM). The CD features Steve Tavaglione, Arto Tuncboyaciyan, Cyril Atef, Michael Landau, Scott Henderson, Vinnie Colaiuta, Alex Acuña, Abraham Laboriel Sr. and many others.
"...it don't get no better than this." - Keyboard Magazine 2/07
The Critics on Kinsey:
“Kinsey doesn’t just blow incredible solos or lay down perfect voicings; with the sounds he dials in, every note is a three dimensional adventure.” - Ernie Rideout, Keyboard
Magazine, January ‘99.
“Tribal Tech's secret weapon remains keyboardist Kinsey, who not only adds harmonic meat with his richly provocative choral voicings, hip comping and counterpoint melodies but also stands as one of the most creative and unpredictable synth soloists around. He is always looking to push the envelope.” - Bill Milkowski ‘2000 “
..."Kinsey, perhaps in compensation for his inhuman chops quotient, has now established himself as an innovator for incorporating the human element, in the form of sampled vocals—pitched, unpitched, sung, spoken or screamed—into his custom-programmed sonic voice.” - Phil DiPietro, All About Jazz.com, 2004
Hey man, that's some really cool playing "Kinsthetics" - a lil walk/strut-jam rhythm thing happening that gets into a lil churchy-gospel groove....i really like that. In addition to the chord changes. Thanks for being a musical influence - solo act & with TT. Thanks for the add. Hope to meet you in person someday. Much success to you and your music.
The JHB shows sound great! It's really good to hear Sophie played out! Jan would dig it. Cant't wait for the summer tour! Really impressed with your work!
