Jenny Scheinman's Mischief & Mayhem featuring Nels Cline, Jim Black, and Todd Sickafoose

“Expect pure magic from the alchemical mixture of folk-influenced avant-jazz compositions, droning soundscapes, and exuberant, rock-infused improvisations.” —New Yorker

This aptly titled jazz super group is led by Jenny Scheinman, a renowned in American folk/country/rock/jazz musician, who has worked with artists such as Lucinda Williams, Bill Frisell, and Lou Reed, while drummer Jim Black is revered for his technique, futuristic concepts, and the joy and invention he brings to his performances. Wilco guitar hero Nels Cline is known for his improvisational brilliance, exquisite use of noise, and diverse range of sonic styles and side collaborations with such legends as Charlie Haden and Willie Nelson. Completing the mayhem is genrebending bassist Todd Sickafoose, who plays well with others and is “Ani DiFranco’s secret weapon” (New Yorker).
