Scott Kinsey is a visionary keyboardist and composer whose work stands out for its innovative approach and deep roots in the jazz fusion tradition. He is most often recognized for his longstanding association with the jazz fusion group Tribal Tech, which he joined in 1991, pushing the boundaries of jazz with his rich harmonic textures and sophisticated use of synthesizers. Kinsey's style bears the influence of his musical hero, Joe Zawinul, which is notably apparent in his solo work and tributes.

Over the years, Kinsey has carved out an impressive career not only as an exceptional performer but also as a producer and sound designer. His solo albums, like 'Kinesthetics', showcase his adept skill in blending jazz with electronic music, funk, and global sounds to create something truly unique. His more recent work, such as 'We Speak Luniwaz: The Music of Joe Zawinul', pays homage to his inspirations while also showcasing his progressive musical vision. With each new release, from 'Adjustments' to his involvement in projects like 'ARC Trio', Kinsey reinforces his reputation as a creator of complex, richly textured, and forward-thinking jazz fusion.
