Jenny Scheinman is one of New York’s most in-demand violinists. She’s backed up everyone from Aretha Franklin to Norah Jones to Bono, and she plays classical music with a local string quartet and orchestra. She’s also released many albums of instrumental jazz. But Scheinman’s latest record, Jenny Scheinman, features her singing.

Scheinman estimates that she’s played more than 200 studio sessions and club dates in the past year. “The schedule of it is hard,” she says. “The actual real-life trying to figure out how much side-personing to do and how much leading to do and how to do all of it. At this point, I’m lucky enough to love everybody I play with. I’m not really doing so many gigs for the money anymore, which is really lucky.”
