Jenny Scheinman & Bill Frisell, Live In Concert: Newport Jazz 2012

Violinist Jenny Scheinman and guitarist Bill Frisell perform at the 2012 Newport Jazz Festival.

Violinist Jenny Scheinman and guitarist Bill Frisell perform at the 2012 Newport Jazz Festival.

The violinist Jenny Scheinman and guitarist Bill Frisell have both developed reputations for flexibility — for being able to collaborate with any musicians from country rockers to straight-ahead swing barons. Appropriately, they've been working together in bands for quite a long time now, including in Frisell's John Lennon tribute earlier in the festival. This duo performance features the two alone together, working out stripped-down versions of Scheinman's fiddle tunes.
