Jenny Scheinman is celebrating the release of her album, Crossing the Field, with a quartet tonight - Jason Moran at the piano, Greg Cohen on bass, and Rudy Royston on drums. The band rehearsed for two hours yesterday afternoon, then played two sets for opening night. So expect a fairly cohesive unit for tonight's show.8:20pm
Jenny is setting up onstage. Getting ready for a nice show.9:04pm
Jenny Scheinman opens with "American Dipper" - male version - from an earlier recording, Shalagaster.9:12pm
American Dipper is North America's only truly aquatic songbird.9:14pm
Jenny calls "Albert," and she calls saxophonist Albert Ayler a great melodicist. I can hear that.9:17pm
Band segues into "Through the Dark." Greg Cohen is the go-to guy in this band.9:24pm
"That's Delight," from the new album, Crossing the Field.9:33pm
"The Frog" could be a cool pop tune. I love the way this song evolves. And Greg Cohen is such an outstanding bassist. Such a complete musician.9:40pm
This beautiful ballad called "Sleeping in the Aquifer." Nice imagery.9:53pm
After playing a new original, "Bray," Scheinman launches into "Hard Sole Shoe," from the new recording. After a piano intro from Jason Moran, the groove is in the house.9:58pm
We end the set with "Born Into This." Autobiographical, Ms. Scheinman???© 2008 WBGO
