About this Event

The series concludes on Saturday, July 30, with the Jenny Scheinman Quintet. Scheinman is a singer, fiddle player, and songwriter. She makes a return visit to Athenaeum, having performed in summer 2019 with Parlour Game, co-led with Allison Miller. She has been on numerous Grammy-winning recordings and has been one of the top violinists in the DownBeat Critics Poll for over a decade. Scheinman has released ten albums of original music and has worked closely with a wide range of jazz and Americana artists, including Jason Moran, Bill Frisell, Madeleine Peyroux, Nels Cline, Ron Miles, Lucinda Williams, Norah Jones, and Lou Reed. In her latest quintet she presents music she wrote in the wilderness of northern California during the shutdown. This drumless ensemble revels in full acoustic resonance and draws on Scheinman’s early string influences, such as John McLaughlin on Shakti, Django Reinhardt, and Wild West cinema. The band also features a few of her older compositions in celebration of 25 years of band leading and a return to the stage after 2 years of Covid hibernation. Her all-star crew includes Dee Dee Bridgewater’s pianist Carmen Staaf, Grammy-winning bassist 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 brink of the unthinkable. The New York Times wrote, “Scheinman [has] a distinctive vision of American music, suffused with plainspoken beauty and fortified all at once by country, gospel and melting-pot folk, along with jazz and the blues.”
