Jazz in the Neighborhood Presents: Schimscheimer Family Trio

Jazz in the Neighborhood presents The Schimscheimer Family Trio and their new CD release, Broken Home. A creative collaboration with Kasey Knudsen on alto sax, Jon Arkin on drums, and Michael Coleman on keyboards, the trio’s music blends elements of tuneful composition, improvisation, and electro-acoustic manipulations shaped by all. For this event, Ben Goldberg, who plays on the album as well, will make a special guest appearance on Bb and contra-alto clarinets. Selections from the new album, as well as a variety of new and old compositions, are on the program for this kick-off CD release celebration. Broken Home, the trio’s long-awaited second album, was recorded at Figure 8 in Brooklyn, NY and released on Ben Goldberg’s BAG Production record label.
