The violin has a long history inWestern music, including an important part in the early stages of jazz. Even with this history, the instrument hasn’t been much of a fixture the in contemporary jazz scene. The French bred, Brooklyn based Scott Tixier presents his new Sunnyside CD Brooklyn Bazaar as an introduction to a new improvisational voice on the violin. The wide-ranging program shows the tremendous potential for the violin in jazz and improvised settings under the control of a modern and highly skilled technician.
