Renowned violinist Jenny Scheinman presents music from her newest album, All Species Parade: an epic double-album celebrating the wild Pacific Northwest wilderness, where Scheinman was raised. Scheinman’s ensemble features pianist Carmen Staaf, guitarist Adam Ratner, bassist Tony Scherr, and drummer Mark Ferber.

Scheinman is an acclaimed violinist and composer who spent thirteen years on the NYC downtown music scene, leading both her own bands, as well as working alongside artists ranging from Jason Moran to Brian Blade, Lucinda Williams to Lou Reed, among numerous others. The New York Times praised her “distinctive vision of American music, suffused with plainspoken beauty and fortified by country, gospel, and melting-pot folk, along with jazz and the blues.” Upon moving back to the Pacific Northwest, Scheinman was reawakened to the extraordinary biodiversity of the region known as “The Lost Coast,” where she was raised, a stretch of mud-slide- and earthquake-prone coastline cut off from the main thoroughfares. This would ultimately inspire Scheinman to write All Species Parade, an epic and sprawling double album with an A-list ensemble. Though the album does evoke a sense of pastoral wonder, it also strives to capture in Scheinman’s words, “a charged relationship to nature, a feeling of being part of something bigger than ourselves, powerful, and fragile, and constantly changing. Something alive. With All Species Parade, I set out to musically reflect that experience of awe.”
