Violinist

Internationally acclaimed jazz violinist Jenny Scheinman presents music she wrote and honed while in the wilderness of Northern California during the shutdown. This drum-less ensemble revels in full acoustic resonance and draws on Scheinman’s early string influences; John McLaughlin’s Shakti, Django Reinhardt and Wild West cinema. She is also sure to include a handful of her older cherished compositions in celebration of 25 years of band leading. Scheinman has released ten albums of original music, collected a handful of Grammys, and has worked closely with a wide range of jazz and Americana artists including Jason Moran, Bill Frisell, Madeleine Peyroux, Nels Cline, Ron Miles, Allison Miller, Lucinda Williams and Lou Reed.
Scheinman’s bi-coastal all-star crew includes Dee Dee Bridgewater’s pianist Carmen Staaf, Grammy-winning bassist and producer Todd Sickafoose who co-created the hit musical Hadestown and alto saxophonist Beth Schenck and guitarist Matt Wrobel whose 20-year duo collaboration pushes the band's extrasensory perception to the outer limits.
