Jenny Scheinman’s All Species Parade

Featuring Bill Frisell, Carmen Staaf, Tony Scherr and Kenny Wollesen. Jenny Scheinman, acclaimed violinist and composer, for many years a stalwart of the New York jazz and creative music scenes, returned to her native Humboldt County, California in 2012. She has played Savannah Music Festival with her projects Mischief & Mayhem and Kannapolis: A Moving Portrait, and was an instructor during Savannah Music Festival’s Acoustic Music Seminar. With the creation of her new project, All Species Parade, Scheinman immersed herself in the sounds and cultural history of her homeland, aiming to musically conjure the extraordinary diversity of life, past and present, in the Pacific Northwest. Scheinman’s all-original program came together on a duo album including pianist Carmen Staaf, guitarists Bill Frisell, Nels Cline and Julian Lage, and the revered rhythm section of Tony Scherr and Kenny Wollesen.
