Event Notes

× Acclaimed California-based violinist and composer Jenny Scheinman’s playing is radiant, soulful, stamped with jazz vernacular and old-time fiddling tradition and buoyed by her superb lyrical poise and technique. In addition to her playing on nine Bill Frisell albums, Scheinman has toured and recorded with Lucinda Williams, Bruce Cockburn, Robbie Fulks, Lou Reed, Ani DiFranco and Joni Mitchell.


Scheinman’s recent albums include Here on Earth (“packed with moments of joyous ecstasy and wind-swept solemnity” - Downbeat), Parlour Game, a co-lead collaboration with Allison Miller (“the band levitates and feels grounded both” - PopMatters), and The Littlest Prisoner, an album of songs in trio with Frisell and Brian Blade (“self-assured, made with a deft, steady hand.” - New York Times).


Scheinman’s new double-album All Species Parade is an epic tribute to the Pacific Northwest. Its stellar cast of players includes pianist Carmen Staaf, guitar icons Frisell, Nels Cline, and Julian Lage, and the revered rhythm team of bassist Tony Scherr and drummer Kenny Wollesen. “I encouraged the musicians to spill over the edges and be their most expansive selves. This is nature worship music, and I didn’t want it to feel domesticated.”
At the BlueShore at CapU, her band will feature pianist Staaf, bassist Scherr, drummer Wollesen and guitarist Adam Ratner. 


This concert is co-presented by Kit Eakle’s Jaz’n’Violin
