One of Jeremy’s early albums, a modern jazz record of mostly original tunes Winner of the 2006 Detroit Music Award for Outstanding Jazz Recording The Musicians Jeremy Kittel, violi n Dann Friedman, tenor saxophone John Nam, piano Andrew Kratzat, bass Chad Hochberg, drums Praise for Jazz Violin Jazz Violin goes from swinging to sentimental, all of it orchestrated expertly by a young man who’s clearly double trouble in the violin world. - Roger LeLievre, The Ann Arbor News Kittel seems destined to be a world-class talent, and Jazz Violin is the ear-catching debut of a formidable jazzer. Unlike the shiny, violinistic Euro- sound of Stephane Grappelly or Mark O'Connor, and equally unlike the rough-at-the-edges stridency of Stuff Smith or Regina Carter, Kittel has almost miraculously found an original, signature sound: dark, preternaturally lean and hornlike, a perfect instrumental voice for jazz and not really like anyone else's. - Chris Rietz, Lansing State Journal Show more
