- 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. Check out this exclusive video interview conducted by Sonic Perspectives collaborator Rodrigo Altaf, as we delve into the inspiration behind "Karnevel!" and explore the mind of a true musical pioneer, including his unexpected love for metal.

I've met Scott twice and even was able to buy him a drink and sit at the bar in Energy Park St Paul with him and talk guitar and recording and life :) between sets, he's absolutely one superb human being. I will NEVER forget his AMAZING outdoor performance at Galtier Plaza (Mears?) Park, excellent leads bouncing off of the buildings of inner St. Paul in an "out of this world" natural reverb. It was mystical! Its awesome that he's sharing respect for Ted Greene. God bless Scott Henderson!
Scott Henderson is a fusion and blues guitar 🎸🔥 titan, imho. Loving his music, since 1987. First heard it on the radio 📻.
😍Scott has never lost the Muse. Safe to say he made his goals in doable doses. Having heard his playing back in the early seventies and now hearing this fine interview it seems possible he has defied aging. A true Educator that has motivated students to navigate through music with a positive outlook on life. Thanks Scott for sharing your talent and lessons all these years. Bob at Bopalot Music
Glad you enjoyed this interview man!
I not only fall in love with beautiful woman, but also guitarists like Scott Henderson of course Allan Holdsworth like all us but just love his soul
I first saw Scott in JJ Reindhearts music store in Toledo, Later I was introduced to him by Jeff Williams, he borrowed Jeff's Boogie amp and we went to see him, and pick it up. I watched several nights at the Zodiac Lounge. Voyage was a great band for that time....Rick Powell, Scott, Brad Teague, and Dick Ruse.....George the light guy was a friend of mine also.Scott, you were the only person I ever met who went barefoot in the snow!! HELLO FROM TOLEDO!!!......I remember....
At the age of 20, I had the distinct honor to study under Gary Willis and Scott Henderson when I attended B.I.T at M.I. We also got to see live performances of Tribal Tech. My roommate and G.I.T student friend and myself also got cassette copies of a live performance that was recorded from the board. 1986 -87 was by far one of the highlight years of my young life.
Surreal, man!!!!
I was @ B.I.T. from '88-'89. I was a big fan of TT's "Spears" & "Dr. Hee" before I attended. But, TT played on a Wednesday during orientation week & were mind blowing.
I use to go to Willis' & Henderson's open counciling all the days they were in.
They did a U.S. tour in the early '90s & came to my hometown outside of Washington, DC twice at The Bayou & Blues Alley with Covington & Kinsey & the audience were blown away.
Sucks the majority of Scott's gigs are overseas now.

Brother, it sounds as though we both got to study from and witness the most incredible and prolific jazz fusion artists in our lifetime ! In the early '90s, my funk metal hip hop group, Birdman of Alcatraz from Indianapolis, got to see Tribal Tech In Chicago before one of our gigs a few blocks away, as well as my privilege of visiting with and bothering Gary and Scott during their dinner before watching and sharing with my bandmates TT's transcendent and soul transforming performance,, as they both thankfully and graciously recalled me and my former Puerto Rican roommate as prior students several years prior, from M.I. who near religiously studied under their profound tutelage. This was by far the most inspiring experience before I performed at any gig during my lifetime ! Gary Willis and Scott Henderson two of the Gary Willis and Scott Henderson, two of the most influential composers and live performers as well as personal instructors In my lifetime !
Wow...listened to him for years BUT, now listening to him "vocally" I am so much more impressed with him as a person. Such a wonderful interview....thank you so much!!!
My pleasure! I hope you like the other interviews in our channel!
Baita entrevista - Scott Henderson foi meu segundo CD que comprei (na antiga Grammy Discos Raros - Porto Alegre) do primeiro disco do Tribal Tech e o acompanho desde então. Já assisti ele duas vezes!! Monstro!!
Valeu!
Scott Henderson is such a philosopher. Touching on self judgmental low frequency anxiety --37:45 --40,55 Genius
Scott is great musician very rare guy! One of the greats!!!☮️❤️✨💥🔥🫠
Scott Henderson is one of my guitar heroes.
Love Scott!!!
I can listen to Scott and frank gambale all day everyday no problem, my favorite guitarists!
Saw him play in Bangkok. One of the greatest. Up there with the best.
Scott was my #2 favorite guitarist (SRV was #1) when I was teenager gtr student. Been working as a guitarist for almost twenty years now, and I can still learn a lot of wisdom from his words and playing. World-class talent (you don't expect anyone else among the musicians of Corea).
New album is sick
Scott, thank you 🙏🏻🪷❤️
Apart from being the extraordinary musician he is Scott seems to be such a nice and unassuming guy - it's definitely and especially heartwarming to hear him talking about Ted Greene the way he does.
True Master,
saw scott several times in austria and will ever remember tribal tech live in *reigen vienna* about 20 years ago as well as his blues band sone years later on. he's the jeff beck of fusion guitar!! why? because he also paints the music with his creative sounds like jeff did.
Great musician. Guy that has interesting phrasing. Cool, generous guy too.
Love Scott. Such an awesome dude and artist!
Scott Henderson is an awesome musician.
thankss to Scotty henderson for his important words! be always yourself in playin and have your sound although we try to copy everything we like in guitar music, Mr SH has lot of influences and impressive knowledge in music. they were beck,clapton hendrix,steve ray, mixed with jazz harmonies of joepass,wes montgomery,with future sounds of AHoldsworth, a real sort of modern blues player, ciao from italy
Looking forward to your new release Scott!
I saw Scott playing with Jean-Luc Ponty band in '85/'86, it was so good, this guy has a soul feel that can't be taught just experienced.
It does not surprise me that Scott was amazing even at such odd time signature !
Great Scott! Great new album! Intresting interview! Thanks!
Thank you!
Such a fantastic guitarist and interesting artist. Great interview!
Thank you!
Great interview. I saw Scott play here in Michigan once. One of the greats! if i was rich i would pay their expenses to come play again. Sounds like i'd have to go to Europe to see him play again. 😔
Good day Sir Henderson ,that's the distinction you deserve, what you eloquently described about what you think about life is the best I've heard in my life. For me, I see you as one of the best musician I've heard on the planet. I totally agree on every little thing you said, Thanks a lot man!
Ty vm for sharing this, Scott is a true master and he made this interview is a true masterclass. Pure gold.
Great interview!! Thanks
🎉 Yes ... Very great interview !! And can't believe Scott so humblely saying he's not a virtuoso . Well as the interviewer said many would disagree & l so firmly do . Will go on record as saying no matter what kind of standards there may be l firmly rate Scott as "A Modern Virtuoso " hands down . Because of what he has accomplished over the years . The amazing unique techniques , style , sounds , personality & soulful spiritualism he has brought to The Electric ⚡ Guitar. 🎸💡 l saw Scott with Tribal Tech early 90s in Cleveland, Ohio & WOW ... AMAZING !! Him & the whole Band . & so nice talking with him . I Must say it was ❤ Life Changing to me as a learning guitarist & spiritually enlightening too !!! And has helped my playing so much . Just so unfortunate that can't see Scott perform now anymore because he performs in other countries & not here in San Rafael , California . I so wish America was more accommodating to this Guitar Legend !! Only the best wishes to you Scott & * Thanks *🎸👍
I don’t know if I’ve ever heard an interview with Scott that wasn’t refreshing and inspiring . He is just very down to earth and explains everything so well, talks freely and always sounds like a guy you could just hang out and have a beer with. But this interview is one of the very best ones so far. The topics covered are clear and the straightforward explanations Scott gives are very inspiring and informative. I hope tons of guitarists get to hear this great interview!! Go Scott, and many thanks Rodrigo for this fine episode.
Wow man...thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the album!
@@rodrigoaltaf983 II’ll make sure to get it. I have most of Scott’s post Tribal Tech music. Need to add this!
Scott is the best. Really positive open minded musician.
metal is not "open minded" is CRAP
He really is.
@@user-du1yk7uk9v I like metal.
Embarassing opinion about such a varied genre@@user-du1yk7uk9v
Thank you so much for the great initiative of giving Scott this space. Every interview, note, article will never be enough to do justice to Henderson's talent and his music. He is a genius. His language is unique, immense and wild like no other Blues or Fusion guitarist.
You're welcome, and I'm really glad I got to talk to him and help to promote his new album!
Hell yes! Can’t wait for the new release!!!
Saw him with his Band live 1986 in France/Germany , Metz.
Long time ago😆 Fantastic! 👌
Great interview. Scott is a wonderful musician/person - can never watch him/listen to him enough.
Thanks. It's one of those interviews where I was glad I didn't have a 30 minute limit, like in most cases.
Totally enjoyed it!
Great interview Scott is such a cool cat. New to your channel love what you do Thanks!!
Many thanks!
Straitght forward, talented and humble.
Love his music.
Thanks Scott Henderson.
p.s Djavan who is a very talented brazilian musician stated once:
"My favourite guitar player is Scott Henderson. His has got such an excelent phrasing."
Djavan is really cool too!
Good to know Djavan loves Scott Henderson.
Djavan is also a precious master, absolutely yes!
Brazil!!! @@naderzekrya5238
I played with Scott to MI in fusion performance it’s was great , Scott is my favorite guitar player , Nice and genius !!!
Great interview. Scott is too cool.
Thank you!
Really nice guy and great interview!
Good interview! Scott is great!
I attended MI in the early 90s. My locker was directly across the hall from Scott's classroom. Wow was it tough to get to my locker with people who couldn't fit in his classroom standing outside watching.
But that's where I was introduced to Tower of Power. Free concerts were frequent and awesome there.
TOP is a fantastic band. They sound amazing live too. Definitely check em out. 💯 they've been around for a long time.
Great interview Rodrigo :) have been a fan of Scott's ever since i came across the first Chick Corea Elektric band album. Really enjoy the tribal tech albums aswell.
Thank you!
Saw this guy 40 years ago with Jean Luc Ponty in Toronto (Massey Hall).
After the the show, I got onto the stage during tear down and asked him a ton of questions. He was ultra cool. He sound SO MUCH like Allan Holdsworth , and we talked about that.
Very cool guy. Eventually, I would get to meet Allan. Also very cool.
I live in Toronto too, but only came here in 2017...wasn't that lucky to catch such iconic shows here.
Unfortunately, Allan Holdsworth passed away.
No Holdsworth no Scott Henderson!
Great artist.
I saw Scott with Jean Luc Ponty in the early 1980's. I was vaguely familiar with Allan Holdsworth back then and Scott reminded me of him a few times that night.
What a great interview!
Many thanks!
Love the honesty,and discrption of the recording process.Great interview,many thanks to you Scott and Rodrigo.Alphonse Meloche,Peace and love will change the world.
Thanks!
Fantastic interview.😊
Scott's such an awesome player and educator.
Definetly take a lesson from him. Its worth it.
I took a lesson a couple years ago, and he really helped me understand some concepts for using melodic minor to improvise.
Thank you!
You should definitely take spelling lessons.
a straight up GOD
Subscribed!!!!!
Many thanks!
Only caught Scott at a gig once (opening for Miles Davis so that was a long time ago). He's put out a ton of great recordings since and would really dig checking out another show. Kinda, (no really) bummed that there's NO North American dates coming up.
Incredible interview. When does the new album come out? I didn't find it on any platform.
Thank you! It comes out on February 02nd.
looking forward to see Scott in Hamburg in March! yeah, ....first time live FINALLY, my no Fusion Guitarist!
15:22 meshuggah moment
Indeed!
This is all I needed
SCOTT HENDERSON, YOU NEED TO HEAR TOM GUARNA PLAY!!!! TOM GUARNA. CHECK HIM OUT.
Any baked potato gigs in 2024 or the avala in San Pedro?
That was before they made Koloss…
Rick Beato had recent interview with the music specialist about how it’s happening with music industry downfall.
What's the beginning song?
Well maybe now you know but anyhow that's "Dolemite" from the "Tore Down House" Blues record
@@Stemenik I did get it but thanks dude!
I saw Scott during that same Jean-Luc Ponty tour. I was blown away and had just been playing guitar for a few years, and so during the break when I got autographs from everybody in the band including Jean-Luc Ponty, I told Scott I loved his playing and asked who his influences were. Instead of giving a polite answer, he adopted this snarky tone and with a sneer said in a dopey voice, “uuuuh, Eddie Van Halen”, turned to the guy next to him and smirked. Real great way to treat someone who just told you they thought you played great, jerk. Anyway, I just said nothing and walked away, disgusted at this trite and childish display.
Hi Mark, I have to tell you that it's literally impossible for me to treat a fan the way you accused me of treating you. It's just not in my nature to be rude to people in that way. I might have been teasing you and assuming you'd get the joke, which I can clearly see you didn't, but I would never smirk or roll my eyes or do anything rude - that's NOT who I am, and it never has been. I'm sorry you took my comment the wrong way, and I apologize for not making it more clear to you that I was just kidding around, which I do a lot. All the best, Scott
@@scott686 Well, my date was with me when we got your autograph and she definitely had the same impression. And to me it was a sincere question and didn’t really merit a joke, it did merit a serious answer. Which OK, if you would’ve followed up with “Nah man, just kidding, I listened to John McLaughlin, Larry Coryell, etc., people like that…”, it would have done the trick. To me it felt like I was being mocked, and I certainly wouldn’t have posed the question if I had any idea who you had been listening to: I was just getting exposed to jazz fusion and the higher level of musicianship therein, and I was genuinely interested in your influences. Anyway, I found lots of great players to listen to on my own.
But moving on, fine, thanks for the apology, all is forgiven on this end and you guys did put on one mother of a show that night, blew me away, great performance, so thanks for that as well.
Understood Mark, and again I'm sorry my remark was taken in the wrong way. I get questions sometimes which I think are goofs, like "what kind of strings do you use?", and people expect a goofy reply. If I had taken your question seriously I would've said Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore, Jeff Beck, and jazz guitarists like Wes, etc. The main point I'm making is that rudeness is not one of my character traits - especially to people who support me. I'm far from perfect, but my goal in life is to be a nice person more than it is to be a good musician. I'm also seriously into comedy and I'm sure I was just trying to be funny, but failed. Thanks for your reply and for accepting my apology.
@@scott686 Thanks again Scott, much appreciated. Also, appreciate your feedback. 😁
Scott’s being too modest… as much as I love Rush, they’re music isn’t as complicated as advertised, so of course he can play Rush with his eyes closed especially considering the complex fusion stuff he’s played for so long, let alone the caliber of world class musicians he’s played with as well.
Great Interview, but Scott lies a lot! There is no where his fingers haven't gone before! I mean come on....
46:46 --47, 55 ADD, Short attention span ,the scourge of the computer generation. 'Alexia next song, now" lol
man sorry but i'm a guitar player since long time , ok you think the guys is so bad that he become a hater lol , i'm not and never be but even if i work on standards and jazzy stuff , his outside playin makes me uncorfortable ! theres somme guys like him ...lol , scuse my ininterest , i mean mancuso or allan , , i cannot ! i mean , dont pay me a place to see him in concert 2 hours gonna be a torture ! thanks !
Virtuoso indeed !!! Phenomenal guitarist with fantastic sense of humor !!! In my top 3 of all time !
I'd prefer him to play JAZZ-FUSION and not DUMB METAL
