Nomad is the third album by fusion / jazz band Tribal Tech, a project led by guitarist Scott Henderson and bassist Gary Willis.
The Vital Tech Tones were an American fusion supergroup formed in the mid-1990s. It was composed of Vital Information drummer Steve Smith, Tribal Tech guitarist Scott Henderson, and Bela Fleck and the Flecktones bassist Victor Wooten. The group released two albums before breaking up due to time constraints.
Jazz Rock Mastery combines Jazz Fusion Improvisation and Melodic Phrasing into one unique DVD in which Scott reveals his unique approach to improvising. You'll learn how to solo over major, pentatonic, melodic minor, diminished, and whole-tone scales, along with modern uses for arpeggios and triads all in the context of melodic and rhythmic phrasing. The DVD also nails the hard-to-teach subject of improvisational phrasing and includes a printable companion booklet.
Real jazz-fusion - spontaneous, risk-taking and improvisatory is exactly what the electric guitarist passionately and enthusiastically embraces on Spears, his debut album. Drawing on such influences as Return to Forever, John McLaughlin and Weather Report, the hard-edged guitarist set the uncompromising tone for his career and that of his band Tribal Tech.
