Born in 1954, Scott Henderson grew up in an era where blues-rock was at it's peak.  As he was learning his instrument, Scott was influenced by Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Ritchie Blackmore, and the great blues guitarists Albert King and Buddy Guy.

Even though Scott claims to be more of a blues-rock player, it was the influence of jazz that led him to the style of playing and composing that he is now famous for.

Scott finished school at Florida Atlantic University , then moved to Los Angeles where he played and recorded with Chick Corea's Elektric Band, with violinist Jean-Luc Ponty, bassist Jeff Berlin and "Players", and a four year stint with Weather Report's Joe Zawinul.

Scott formed the band Tribal Tech in 1984 with bassist Gary Willis, and after nine critically acclaimed albums, he has proven himself as a world class player and composer.

In 1991, Scott was named the #1 Jazz Guitarist by Guitar World and in January 1992, he was named #1 Jazz Guitarist in Guitar Player's Annual Reader's Poll.
