  • Bio

    Named a “rising star violinist” by Downbeat Magazine, Aaron Weinstein is quickly earning a reputation as one of the finest jazz violinists of his generation. As a featured soloist, Aaron has performed at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Wolftrap Center for the Performing Arts, Chicago's Orchestra Hall, the JVC Jazz Festival, the Iridium, Birdland, and abroad at festivals and clubs in France, England Iceland, Switzerland, Israel, and China. Aaron has performed and recorded with and an array of jazz icons including: Les Paul, Howard Alden, Dave Frishberg, Scott Hamilton, Dick Hyman, Houston Person, Bucky Pizzarelli, John Pizzarelli, Annie Ross, Warren Vache, and Frank Vignola, as well as New York Pops founder/conductor, Skitch Henderson. He is a recent graduate of the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, where he was awarded a full four-year talent-based scholarship. While still in high school, he founded New Trier High School's Stephane Grappelli Tribute Trio, voted as the nation's best high school instrumental jazz group by Downbeat Magazine in 2002. Aaron has won various competitions including the 1998 and 2001 Illinois State Fiddle Championships, making him the youngest performer ever to hold this title. With the release of Aaron’s Arbors Records debut, "A Handful of Stars", (called “the rebirth of the hot jazz violin” by Nat Hentoff) Aaron has become the youngest jazz musician to have recorded as leader for this prestigious traditional jazz record label.

"When my day job reporting on genocide in Darfur and the constant struggle to keep the Bill of Rights alive here bring me down, I have to put some music on. From now on, one of the first CDs I'll reach for is this conversation, and that's what jazz is between Aaron Weinstein and John Pizzarelli. As this session invigoratingly demonstrates, while a standard rhythm section can be incandescent (with Jo Jones, say, on drums), a true jazz improviser can be his or her own rhythm section. And when there are two players, for whom swinging is a s natural as breathing, you get the music you have in your hand.".. -....Nat Hentoff.., jazz critic for The Wall Street Journal.. .. ...... .... .. ....- Select Discography -.... .. .... .. .. .. ..  .. .. ..Aaron Weinstein.... ..A Handful of Stars....

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT TRUTH AND LIES ...

    According to Webster, a LIE is defined as:

    1.)  a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive;
           an INTENTIONAL UNTRUTH; a FALSEHOOD..

    2.)  something intended or serving to convey a FALSE
          IMPRESSION; imposture: His flashy car was a lie
          that deceived no one.

    3.)  an INACCURATE or FALSE STATEMENT.

    4.)  the charge or accusation of LYING:

    THE TRUST OF THE INNOCENT IS THE LIAR'S

    MOST USEFUL TOOL!  DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING

    YOU HEAR!

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT RESPECT ...

    “In the end we are all separate: our stories, no matter

    how similar, come to a fork and diverge. We are drawn

    to each other because of our SIMILARITIES, but it is

    our DIFFERENCES we must LEARN TO RESPECT.”

    RESPECT IS WHAT WE OWE ~

    LOVE, WHAT WE GIVE!
