Acclaimed violinist and composer Jenny Scheinman, long a vital voice in New York’s jazz and creative music circles, has continued to expand her artistic world since returning to her native Humboldt County in 2012, as reflected in her celebrated albums Here on Earth, Parlour Game, and The Littlest Prisoner. Her long-envisioned homage to the remote, rugged Lost Coast has culminated in All Species Parade, an expansive double album inspired by the region’s natural beauty, cultural history, and sense of awe. Featuring an all original program brought to life by an extraordinary ensemble including Carmen Staaf, Bill Frisell, Nels Cline, Julian Lage, Tony Scherr, and Kenny Wollesen the project marks a bold shift into long form, richly layered compositions that mirror the wild, multidimensional landscapes that shaped her. Radiant in tone and grounded in both jazz vernacular and old-time fiddling traditions, Scheinman leads music that celebrates nature’s complexity and vitality while embracing the expressive freedom of her collaborators. In addition to her deep roots in jazz and improvised music, Scheinman has toured and recorded with songwriting legends such as Lucinda Williams, Bruce Cockburn, Rodney Crowell, Ani DiFranco, and Joni Mitchell, contributed to the original cast recording of Hadestown, and written several film scores, continuing to affirm her place as one of today’s most imaginative and multifaceted artists.
