Jared Schonig
Now living in Brooklyn, Jared stays busy performing and recording in New York's jazz, rock, pop and Broadway communities at renowned venues including The Blue Note, Birdland and Jazz at Lincoln Center. Since his arrival in New York, Jared has performed and/or recorded internationally as a sideman with Wynton Marsalis, Fred Hersch, Wycliffe Gordon, Dave Liebman, Charles Pillow, Bob Brookmeyer and Rudy Linka, among others. He also backs Peter Eldridge and the Grammy-award winning vocal jazz group The New York Voices. On Broadway, Jared currently plays or has played onstage for American Idiot (Green Day) and for Pulitzer Prize Winner Next to Normal, and in the orchestras for Grease and the off- Broadway productions of Everyday Rapture featuring Sherie Rene Scott and The Marvelous Wonderettes.
As a co-leader, Jared founded "The Wee Trio" - a collaborative project that includes vibraphonist James Westfall and bassist Dan Loomis - in 2007. Hailed by critics as "definitely a group to watch" (Downbeat), their first album, Capitol Diner Vol. 1, was released in 2008 and was declared "a winning debut" by the Boston Globe. The Wee Trio is about to embark on a national tour to celebrate the Spring 2010 release of Capitol Diner Vol. 2. In his free time, Jared teaches at Poly Prep Country Day School and actively manages a private studio of talented young students.

by Angelo Leonardi
"È tutta la vita che il mio paese conduce tragiche e futili invasioni straniere. Ho sentito che dovevo scrivere su questo fatto, infondere nella mia nuova musica la sua dolorosa eredità." Queste riflessioni aprono il nuovo disco di Joel Harrison, ritornato a sette anni di distanza da Infinite Possibility a guidare un ensemble orchestrale.
