Jenny Scheinman grew up on California's remote Lost Coast, and now she brings us music that captures the wild beauty of her roots. Her double album All Species Parade (Royal Potato Family, 2024), brings together jazz and folk to create something wholly original that feels like the natural world itself.

With a dream team of collaborators including

Bill Frisell

guitar, electric
b.1951

Nels Cline

Julian Lage
