Jimmy Haslip/Scott Kinsey/Gergo Borlai: ARC Trio

By JIM WORSLEY

A distant relative of Jimmy Haslip's first record as a leader, Arc (GRP, 1993), Arc Trio is a breath of fresh air. The core trio of Haslip, Scott Kinsey, and Gergo Borlai intelligently reimagine the fusion genre.

Scott Kinsey: On speaking Luniwaz with an accent

By FRIEDRICH KUNZMANN

Scott Kinsey belongs among the most influential keyboard players of the past decades and seems capable of adapting to any style of music.

Scott Kinsey: Near Life Experience

By JOHN KELMAN

It's been a full decade since Scott Kinsey last released an album under his own name (the 2006 Abstract Logix debut, Kinesthetics) and, if anything, Near Life Experience manages to trump actually its predecessor in both ambition and Kinsey's significant cast of invited contributors.
