Tony Scherr - Twist in the Wind

2008 sophomore effort features performances by Bill Frisell, Mickey Raphael (Willie Nelson), Mauro Refosco (Bebel Gilberto, David Byrne), Kate Fenner, Michelle Casillas (Ursa Minor) and David Phelps. As with his 2002 debut record Come Around, Scherr enlisted his bassist brother Peter Scherr, drummer Kenny Wollesen (Bill Frisell, Jesse Harris) and Hammond organist Chris Brown as his backing band for his second outing. Amid a vibrant New York City music scene, Tony Scherr is known most notably for his continuing work with such distinguished artists as Norah Jones, Willie Nelson, Bill Frisell, Steven Bernstein's Sexmob, Jesse Harris & the Ferdinandos and John Lurie & the Lounge Lizards. A powerhouse double-bassist, gallant electric guitarist, and affecting songwriter, Scherr's self-taught musical prowess has been an undeniably integral part of influential songwriters' careers.
