"In a time when the word 'fusion' describes instrumental rock and roll (and 'jazz' is routinely applied to guys like Kenny G and Fourplay), Tribal Tech stands out like a diamond-back in a pile of cotton balls. The original fusion of the early '70s wedded musical complexity to raw energy, in the process becoming jazz's answer to acid rock; Tribal Tech retains most of the idiom's virtues with few of the drawbacks. In contrast to that other stuff masquerading as fusion, Tech's music has an urgency that has always distinguished the great players of jazz and rock..." - The Chicago Reader
After twelve years of working together and eight critically acclaimed albums, Scott Henderson and Gary Willis of Tribal Tech, have proven they are visionary composers, as well as world class players. In recent years, Henderson has been named the #1 Jazz Guitarist, by both Guitar World and Guitar Player's Annual Reader's Polls. Bass Player magazine referred to Willis as "one of the most vital bass voices of the 90's", while Guitar Player's Annual Reader's Poll has listed Willis among the top three bassist in the Jazz Bass category
for the last two years in a row. While they've always had the
following of loyal jazzers, the band has steadily attracted the attention of rock and rollers, as well, seducing them with their sometimes big, dark wall of sound and their bad boy attitude toward "happy jazz". Tom Hamilton of Aerosmith says that Tribal Tech "kicks ass!". Packed houses in the U.S., Europe and South America show he is obviously not the only one who thinks this.
Rounding out the dynamic foursome is the awesomely talented,
turbo-driven Kirk Covington on drums and the improvisationally-gifted Scott Kinsey on keyboards. The coming together of such talented players could only result in the creation of a band like Tribal Tech. A band that grabs you by the throat and won't let go until they've shaken you out of your musical complacency with a roar of energy.
