Join Sex 14s on Wednesday, October 9th at 1pm when he speaks with acclaimed violinist and composer, Jenny Scheinman.
Scheinman will be playing multiple nights (October 10th, 11th, and 12th) at Mr. Tipples in SF. All ages are welcome.
For years, Scheinman nursed the idea of a musical homage to Humboldt, in particular the area known as the Lost Coast, a remote, earthquake- and mudslide-prone region of coastal northern California, where she was raised. She considered the project from many angles. She wrote a song cycle based on the “crusty characters” from her hometown and sketched out a surrealist multimedia project based on the county’s namesake, Alexander Von Humboldt.
She collaborated with filmmaker Ai Aiwane on a video installation about the Mattole River (Cojo Come Home) and immersed herself in the sounds and cultural history of the region, with hopes of conjuring, in music, the extraordinary diversity of life, past and present, in the Pacific Northwest. Her epic new release, All Species Parade, is the result of these meditations.
The all-original program is brought to life over the course of a double album, by pianist Carmen Staaf, guitar icons Bill Frisell, Nels Cline and Julian Lage, and the revered rhythm team of bassist Tony Scherr and drummer Kenny Wollesen. It was recorded by Eli Crews at The Bunker in Brooklyn, NY and mixed by Grammy Award-nominated engineer Tucker Martine and mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound.
