March 25, 2006 | Aaron Weinstein Jazz
Glad to see JazzMando friend Aaron Weinstein is making the news. From the Chicago suburb of Wilmette, Aaron cut his teeth on Old Time fiddle music at age 8, winning the Illinois overall Fiddle Championship at age 13, the youngest ever. While in Chicago, he studied mandolin with jazz mandolin innovator Don Stiernberg, but now an undergraduate at the prestigious Berklee School of Music, he's preparing to carry on the tradition of the greats like jazz violinist, Joe Venuti and Stephane Grappelli and guitar master Bucky Pizzarelli. The latter of which who he's had the privilege of recording with.
We hope he's able to squeeze a little mandolin in, too!
