Scheinman’s bi-coastal all-star crew includes Dee Dee Bridgewater’s pianist Carmen Staaf, Grammy-winning bassist and producer Todd Sickafoose who co-created the hit musical Hadestown and alto saxophonist Beth Schenck and guitarist Matt Wrobel whose 20-year duo collaboration pushes the band's extrasensory perception to the outer limits.
