Jenny Scheinman

0 - Default Title
Description
In a 2007 interview entitled "Who Norah Adores," Norah Jones, asked to name her three favorite artists, cited violinist Jenny Scheinman, who among her numerous high-profile credits, appears on Jones' multi-platinum, Grammy-winning, groundbreaking Come Away With Me. Jenny has been the Rising Star violinist in Down Beat's International Critics Poll for several years. She has appeared and recorded with artists as diverse as Lucinda Williams and Bill Frisell, Wilco's Nels Cline and The Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Her residencies at Brooklyn, NY's Barbes with a rotating cast of some of the greatest players in jazz, rock, and country/folk/bluegrass are becoming the stuff of legend. She also sings; and her move into vocal music, coupled with her unique and original presence as a commanding new voice in instrumental music, make Jenny Scheinman's story one of the really important ones in 2008. Jenny's self-titled vocal debut is a spellbinding take on contemporary Americana, featuring interpretations of songs by Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams, blues immortals Mississippi John Hurt and Jimmy Reed, and Tom Waits; as well as folk songs, originals and the standard "Twilight Time." The moods range from rocking ("Come On Down") to romantic ("Rebecca's Song) and from raw back porch gut bucket ("Shame Shame Shame") to heartbreakingly poignant ("Newspaper Angels.") The album as a whole signals the emergence of an unforgettable new voice in American music; and coupled with the simultaneous, digital-only, release of her new instrumental collection, Crossing The Field, announces Jenny Scheinman as a unique, undeniable force. To paraphrase Norah Jones, someone lovely and new.
