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 Jazz at Lincoln Center, Wolftrap Center for the Performing Arts, Blue Note, Birdland, the Iridium, Carnegie Hall and abroad at festivals in England, France, Switzerland, Iceland, and Israel. Aaron has performed and recorded with an array of jazz icons including: Les Paul, Bucky Pizzarelli, John Pizzarelli (who calls Aaron “a perfect musician”), Scott Hamilton, Dick Hyman, Ken Peplowski, Houston Person, and Annie Ross as well as New York Pops founder/conductor, Skitch Henderson. He is a recent graduate of the famed Berklee College of Music where he was awarded a full four-year talent-based scholarship. With the release of Aaron’s Arbors Records debut, A Handful of Stars, (called “the rebirth of the hot jazz violin” by famed journalist, Nat Hentoff) Aaron has become the youngest jazz musician to have recorded as leader for this prestigious traditional jazz record label. His newest release, Blue Too, is a duo with John Pizzarelli, also available on Arbors Records.
