Today, the Spotlight shines On violinist and composer Jenny Scheinman.
Jenny Scheinman grew up on California's remote Lost Coast, and now she brings us music that captures the wild beauty of her roots. Her double album All Species Parade brings together jazz and folk to create something wholly original that feels like the natural world itself.
With a dream team of collaborators including Bill Frisell, Nels Cline, and Julian Lage on guitars, Jenny's violin leads us through soundscapes that honor the land, its native peoples, and all living creatures.
Jenny's made a career working with everyone from Lucinda Williams to Lou Reed, but this project takes her back home to create what she calls "nature worship music" that refuses to be domesticated.
