Kendall Scott has been playing both guitar and keyboards from the early age of 7. A steady diet of classical, jazz, rock and pop lead to strong interests in fusion, progressive rock, experimental electronic, and world music.
He is a multi instrumentalist, synthesist, and programmer who spent time in the fertile Washington D.C. music scene in the mid 1980's during the fledgling years of MIDI recording, working for famed Dub producer Scientist and Urban Verbs guitarist Robert Goldstein among others. A move to Boston lead to further training in synthesis at Berklee College of Music under Richard Boulanger and David Mash, before relocating to New York for more session work and performances as well as a lengthy series of guitar studies with Bill Connors.
Kendall was a founding member of the funk rock group Cypha'z God'z which featured a talent base from Japan, Eastern Europe, Haiti, and the United States. Underground European notoriety would arrive just as the group dissolved, with members lighting out for different parts of the planet to pursue other interests. Final lineups incorporated Mark White of the Spin Doctors and Kenji Hino in an effort to replace exiting bassist Mas Hino.
Current projects include Asi, an ongoing fusion partnership with sax and wind player Alonzo Wright which features an ever evolving set of excellent musicians. Reggie Washington, Gene Lake, Gintas Janusonis, Knob Kinukawa, Reggie Carson, and Chris Parks have all stoked the fire over the years with their burning performances.
The Anton Roolaart Band is a progressive rock outfit with its roots in Yes, Pink Floyd, Genesis, and the like with a second album in the works. After great success with his first album "Dreamer" (Umbrello Records), Anton is busy arranging and recording his second record with Kendall on piano, organ, and synthesizer. Making a return is string veteran Vincent Puryear who again contributes on a selection of bass instruments.
The Jennifer Jordan Band is fronted by soulful vocalist Jennifer (Wright) Jordan, who is gifted with a voice that can light any room or command any stage. Vincent Puryear mans both bass and guitar, Kendall handles keyboards, bass, and guitar duties with drummer T.J. Esposito acting as the groups timepiece. Live dates for this blues, funk, pop and rock unit will be posted soon.
Between performing and scoring indie films he is either snowboarding or busy stealing licks from Adam Holzman when he is not looking.
