Get ready to embark on a sonic journey with legendary guitarist and composer Scott Henderson as he prepares to release his highly anticipated album, “Karnevel!“, on February 2, 2024. Following the triumph of his previous album, “People Mover,“ which clinched the title of the best fusion album of 2019 by Jazz Times Magazine, Scott is back with a musical revelation that promises to captivate and innovate. “Karnevel!“ is a testament to the guitarist’s exceptional ability to seamlessly blend elements of jazz, rock, funk, and blues in an authentic and musical way. With a diverse set of beautiful compositions, the album reflects Scott’s 35-year journey as a bandleader, showcasing an artist whose playing and composing continue to evolve and reach new heights. Recorded live in the studio with the same stellar lineup from “People Mover“ – Romain Labaye on bass and Archibald Ligonnière on drums – “Karnevel!“ captures the raw energy of a live session. Scott’s dedication to sonic exploration is evident as he spent considerable time layering additional guitar tracks, introducing sounds that push the boundaries of his own musical palette. Born in 1954, Scott Henderson emerged in the 1980s with the legendary band Tribal Tech, solidifying his position as one of the top guitar players and composers in jazz fusion. Having toured and recorded with iconic figures such as Chick Corea, Joe Zawinul of Weather Report, and Jean-Luc Ponty, Scott’s musical legacy spans over 70 countries and includes a catalog of more than 20 albums.  Winner of numerous Best Guitarist awards and a fixture on the covers of international guitar magazines, Scott Henderson remains an influential force in the world of music.
