Scheinman to Appear on KMHD Radio - Friday, January 4 at 9:30AM
"There is an emotional element to [Scheinman's] playing that makes her music deeply satisfying." - Wall Street Journal "[Scheinman is] simply one of the most versatile musicians working today; someone who composes and arranges frequently, tours as a country singer-songwriter and plays with Bill Frisell, Jason Moran and Norah Jones." - NPR.org PDX Jazz, the presenting organization of the Portland Jazz Festival in partnership with The Mission Theater, along with The Crystal Hotel and our media sponsor KMHD Radio, announces the Jenny Scheinman Trio as part of the continuing PDX Jazz @ The Mission Theater series on Saturday, January 5 @ 7:00 & 9:30PM. Violinist Scheinman will be joined in by renowned guitarist Bill Frisell and drummer Brian Blade. Scheinman is reuniting with the trio following a successful residency at New York City's Village Vanguard in December 2011. The violinist has a long-standing relationship with Bill Frisell--who over the years has always encouraged her to take a bit of the spotlight, both on his acclaimed albums and during his live shows--and has said, "I've been playing with Bill since I was in my early twenties; mostly in his bands and recordings, but also in my own. He's a dear friend and major musical inspiration and influence." On her partnership with Frisell and Blade at the Vanguard, Scheinman noted, "When Lorraine Gordon asked me to do two weeks at the Vanguard, I decided to present two disparate groups, first my little rock band Mischief & Mayhem, and the other in a more intimate context with Bill, duo. It was like this for many months, just Bill and I. Then one morning I woke up with Brian Blade in my head. He's someone I've never played with, barely know, but admire immensely. He said YES! So we are a trio." In addition to this masterful trio, Scheinman has found herself working alongside such lauded artists as Lucinda Williams, Norah Jones, Rodney Crowell, Jason Moran, Madeleine Peyroux, and Lou Reed. She concluded a 50-date North American tour with Bruce Cockburn, as the opening act and member of his trio. Her playing and singing continues to be featured on outstanding albums such as Bill Frisell's Sign of Life as well as his tribute to John Lennon (All We Can Say), Bruce Cockburn's Small Source Of Comfort, Madeleine Peyroux's Standing on the Rooftop (on which she co-wrote several songs), and she wrote and performed string arrangements on Lou Reed and Metallica's latest album, Lulu.  | Jenny Scheinman and Bill Frisell Perform Live
