  • Press Kit 2017
    BIOGRAPHY BIOGRAPHY One of his generation’s extraordinary talents, Scott Tixier has made a name for himself as a violinist-composer of wide- ranging ambition, individuality and drive — “the future of jazz violin” in the words of Downbeat Magazine and “A remarkable improviser and a cunning jazz composer” in those of NPR. The New York City-based Tixier, born in 1986 in Montreuil, France has performed with some of the leading lights in jazz and music legends from Stevie Wonder to NEA jazz master Kenny Barron; as a leader as well. Tixier’s acclaimed Sunnyside album “Cosmic Adventure” saw the violinist performing with a all star band “taking the jazz world by storm” as the All About Jazz Journal put it. The Village Voice called the album “Poignant and Reflective” while The New York Times declared “Mr. Tixier is a violinist whose sonic palette, like his range of interests, runs open and wide; on his new album, “Cosmic Adventure,” he traces a line through chamber music, Afro-Cuban groove and modern jazz.” When JazzTimes said"Tixier has a remarkably vocal tone, and he employs it with considerable suspense. Cosmic Adventure is a fresh, thoroughly enjoyable recording!" Tixier studied classical violin at the conservatory in Paris. Following that, he studied improvisation as a self-educated jazz musician. He has been living in New York for over a decade where he performed and recorded with a wide range of artists, including, Stevie Wonder, Kenny Barron, John Legend, Ed Sheeran, Charnett Moffett, Cassandra Wilson, Chris Potter, Christina Aguilera, Common, Anthony Braxton, Joss Stone, Gladys Knight, Natalie Cole, Ariana Grande, Wayne Brady, Gerald Cleaver,Tigran Hamasyan and many more He played in all the major venues across the United States at Carnegie Hall, the Radio City Music Hall, Madison Square Garden, Barclays Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Blue Note Jazz Club, the Apollo Theater, the Smalls Jazz Club, The Stone, Roulette, Joe's Pub, Prudential Center and the United States Capitol.

  • Yamit Lemoine on Jazz Violin & New Album Ain't Misbehavin'
    Yamit Lemoine on Jazz Violin & New Album Ain’t Misbehavin’ By Grant Albert | September 24, 2019 ​ ​ We are in an era of nostalgia: vinyl records are poised to outsell CD’s for the first time since 1986, baggy clothes that resemble 90s fashion are back with aplomb, and appreciation for the jazz masters’ like Miles Davis are hitting a new high. It only makes sense that artist like Yamit Lemoine are spurring nostalgic sentiment. The Israeli born, Toronto raised, Miami resident formed Yamit and The Vinyl Blvd—a classical jazz ensemble that brings funk, groove, and melody into harmonious overtures all over Miami. Yamit plays both the violin and sings the great classics from the 1920’s through the 1960’s. Yamit’s debut album ​Ain’t Misbehavin’​ is a delightful passage through time. The 12-track album brings swaying sounds that combine with Yamit’s delicate, but forceful voice which transports the listener through the great jazz ages from humble beginnings to the inspiring heights of the 1960’s. In a society where new information is thrown onto us in seconds, it never hurts to take a step back and listen to the classics sung by a new voice. You recently released your debut, Ain’t Misbehavin’ can you explain the process and your thoughts about the album? Yamit Lemoine: For me, the process of producing an album is a bit like cooking. When you have great ingredients and know how to put them together – it’s bound to be good. The musicians on the album are incredible, and the tunes are from the Great American Songbook – how can you go wrong? I chose a selection of tunes that we usually played at the gigs – recording them was the natural progression for those tunes because they’ve already taken their organic shape on the stage.

  • Birth of the Cool
    Mateusz Smoczynski, Violin David Balakrishnan, Violin, Baritone Violin Benjamin von Gutzeit, Viola Mark Summer, Cello Birth of the Cool Reaching for lyricism and gentler textures as a reaction to the fiery sounds of bebop, the renowned musicians who performed on the seminal recording, Birth of the Cool, consider it a tipping point towards the style that became known as “Cool Jazz.” The living embodiment of cool, Miles Davis, and his colleagues, Gil Evans, Gerry Mulligan, Lee Konitz, etc., set the table for a slew of legendary groups that shared their vision. From the Modern Jazz Quartet and Gunther Schuller of third stream music, to the west coast sounds of the Dave Brubeck Quartet with Paul Desmond, to the iconoclastic melodic lines of pianist Lennie Tristano, their particular brand of innovative genius echoed into the myriad jazz fusion blends of the seventies and eighties. Ultimately, this created the perfect conditions for an audacious group of four string players equally grounded in jazz improvisation and classical technique, to split the Eurocentric string quartet atom. In addition to employing their signature groove-based rhythmic techniques to transform classic selections from the recording of Birth of the Cool such as Israel, Venus De Milo, and Jeru into jazz string quartet masterpieces, the two time GRAMMY® winning Turtle Island Quartet will take a wide swath through the many other avenues traversed by these intrepid explorers of cool. Perennial favorites such as Dave Brubeck’s Blue Rondo A La Turk and Gerry Mulligan’s Bernie’s Tune conjoin with Miles Davis’s dreamy Miles Ahead, and the Modern Jazz Quartet’s darker Django.

This musical library traces a timeline of stylistic influences from the early styles of jazz to the present day.

  • Regina Carter
    d Interview REGINA CARTER December, 2010 Jazz violinist Regina Carter ranks as one of Oakland Uni­ versity’s most talented and justly famous alumni. Her Re­ verse Thread was chosen by NPR as one of the top 50 albums of 2010. Her touring schedule covers America, Europe and Japan. TOJ interviewed Regina in December of 2010, and we reconstructed the conversa­ tion. Ms. Carter kindly and thoroughly edited the result so that it represents her thoughts and her voice. Among the ben­ efits of interviewing her instead of researching her in the na­ tional media, is that we could ask about her experience as a student here. As a consequence, readers will find that Regina Carter did not merely attend OU, she found a rich and stimu­ lating experience here. She is one of us. TOJ: Reverse Thread, a great CD with wonderful new African sounds, also seems to offer things from all over the world. What influences led you to develop this sound? 47 RC: Detroit was such an ethnically diverse city. I was exposed to other cultures and their music at an early age without having to travel. Some of the sounds I heard were very “foreign” to my ear but were extremely beautiful and captivating. I bought al­ bums with strings from different parts of the planet and started imitating the sounds I heard. TOJ: You have made several successful major label CDs in your recording career, and they too are wonderful. But one can no­ tice that they are in a different category. Reverse Thread is more distinctively world music.

  • Violin, I the Instrument, Its Technique and Its Repertory in Oxford Music Online
    14.3.2011 Violin, §I: The instrument, its techniq… Oxford Music Online Grove Music Online Violin, §I: The instrument, its technique and its repertory article url: http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com:80/subscriber/article/grove/music/41161pg1 Violin, §I: The instrument, its technique and its repertory I. The instrument, its technique and its repertory 1. Introduction. The violin is one of the most perfect instruments acoustically and has extraordinary musical versatility. In beauty and emotional appeal its tone rivals that of its model, the human voice, but at the same time the violin is capable of particular agility and brilliant figuration, making possible in one instrument the expression of moods and effects that may range, depending on the will and skill of the player, from the lyric and tender to the brilliant and dramatic. Its capacity for sustained tone is remarkable, and scarcely another instrument can produce so many nuances of expression and intensity. The violin can play all the chromatic semitones or even microtones over a four-octave range, and, to a limited extent, the playing of chords is within its powers. In short, the violin represents one of the greatest triumphs of instrument making. From its earliest development in Italy the violin was adopted in all kinds of music and by all strata of society, and has since been disseminated to many cultures across the globe (see §II below). Composers, inspired by its potential, have written extensively for it as a solo instrument, accompanied and unaccompanied, and also in connection with the genres of orchestral and chamber music. Possibly no other instrument can boast a larger and musically more distinguished repertory, if one takes into account all forms of solo and ensemble music in which the violin has been assigned a part.
