Melbourne based master trumpeter, Scott Tinkler has been performing since 1983 and is well known for his many brilliant incarnations as an ensemble player, solo and recording artist..
In the early ’90s Tinkler performed and studied with Australian tenor saxophonist, Mark Simmonds, who had studied with George Coleman in New York. Simmonds introduced Tinkler to extended practice on the cycle of 5ths using many harmonic substitutions involving the diminished substitution theory, rhythm cycles and polyrhythms as a basis for his highly fuelled jazz-based music, which can be traced to earlier developments by John Coltrane.
Throughout Tinkler’s career he has been interested in not only exploring and developing improvised music stemming from jazz, but also other forms of music and the cultures they come from. This has led to musical collaborations with Indian and Korean musicians, as well as with indigenous musicians from Australia.
Tinkler has collaborated with a range of international artists over the past decade including Jason Moran, Tim Berne, Mark Helias, Anthony Burr, Tony Buck, Oscar Noriaga and Han Bennink. In 2003 Tinkler travelled with his longtime associate Paul Grabowsky to New York to record an album of Grabowsky’s original music with Branford Marsalis, Joe Lovano, Ed Schuller and Jeff “Tain” Watts. Tales of Time and Space was released on the Warner label to stunning reviews, many highlighting Tinkler’s unique contribution to Grabowsky’s music.
Scott has had a long association with ORiGiN releasing his first recordings via the ORiGiN label including Back Of My Head and the internationally released and renown Sofa King.
