Kurt Rosenwinkel (born October 28, 1970) is an American jazz guitarist, composer, bandleader, producer, educator, keyboardist and record label owner.

Rosenwinkel attended the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts alongside classmates including Christian McBride, Joey DeFrancesco, and future Roots drummer Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson.

After moving to Brooklyn, he began performing with Human Feel, Paul Motian's Electric Bebop Band,[1] Joe Henderson, and the Brian Blade Fellowship.

He collaborated with Q-Tip, who co-produced his studio album Heartcore that includes bassist Ben Street, drummer Jeff Ballard, and saxophonist Mark Turner.

[3] The Jazz Book calls Rosenwinkel "a visionary composer, with an infinitely sensitive way of layering electronic sounds, borrowed from ambient music, dub, and drum and bass, and manipulating them intelligently.
