Scott Kinsey, keys

Matthew Garrison, bass

Arto Tunçboyaciyan, percussion

Gary Novak, drums

Ein Gipfeltreffen mit vier der besten Musiker unserer Zeit. Keyboarder Scott Kinsey, Bassist Matthew Garrison, Percussionist Arto Tunçboyaciyan und Drummer Gary Novak. Ihre Musik steht ganz in der Tradition von Weather Report, Joe Zawinuls Syndicate und dem Mahavishnu Orchestra. Die Musiker vermischen auf einzigartige Weise Funk, Elektronische Musik, Folk und Improvisation und kreieren einen ganz eigenen Sound – weit weg von üblichen Hörgewohnheiten. Ihre Musik ist frisch und gleichzeitig voller historischer Bezüge. Jeder dieser Musiker hat bereits mit Größen zusammengearbeitet wie Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola, Meshell Ndegeocello, Sting, John Scofield, Snarky Puppy, Alanis Morissette, Joni Mitchell, Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan oder Lalah Hathaway.

Human Element is a collective of some of the finest musicians in the world, including keyboardist Scott Kinsey, bassist Matthew Garrison, percussionist-vocalist Arto Tunçboyaciyan and drummer Gary Novak who have individually performed and recorded with the likes of music giants Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola, Meshell Ndegeocello, Sting, John Scofield, Snarky Puppy, Alanis Morissette, Joni Mitchell, Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan, Lalah Hathaway, among many others. Human Element has a unique vision that is staking out a totally new corner of the musical map. Their electrifying performances and recordings speak of a forward-thinking tradition begun by Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Weather Report and the Mahavishnu Orchestra to name a few, moving these traditions to a totally new place. They blend rhythms and feelings of Funk, Electronic, Improvisation and Folk to create a rich, new sound that ebbs and pulls on the very edges of the listening experience. Human Element is propelling music in a direction as fresh and historical as the musicians themselves.

“The plan is to really go for it with this band. We all believe in it because there’s really nothing else like this band out there. Since Joe [Zawinul] passed, there’s just no one making music that’s really on that type of wavelength. So there must be a lot of people out there who would like to find music that speaks to them the way that Joe’s music did.” Scott Kinsey
