There’s something different about the JESSE SCHEININ BAND. With a lush sound and melodies that are anthemic and otherworldly, the JSB creates a world that is cinematic and joyful. The sound blends rock, soul, and fiery jazz.

Led by saxophonist, singer, songwriter Jesse Scheinin, the Jesse Scheinin Band is BIG: there’s a choir, two saxophonists, two drummers, bass, guitar, and organ. 

Now based in New York City, recently transplanted from Boston, the group has been performing alongside comedians Reggie Watts, Wyatt Cenac and Jim Gaffigan, and at underground rock venues around the city, including Pianos and Rockwood Music Hall.  It also has performed at the San Francisco Jazz Festival, Yoshi’s Jazz Club and Club Passim.

The band is at the vanguard of a movement of young NYC and Boston artists who are creating uniquely 2012 sounds. They see music as a uniting force, and seek to build community through expression. They include Evan Shinners, Nick Hakim, Julia Easterlin, Adrianne Lenker, the Tres Amigos, Kario Key, and SHELLY.

The Jesse Scheinin Band will release its debut album in summer 2012.
