Alongside Chris Bates (bass), Dave Schmalenberger (drums), Chis Olson (guitar), Jenny brings the marimba into a new musical setting, enchanting audiences with her virtuosity and expressiveness. Jenny is a truly unique performer, bringing a new instrument to greater audiences. Kevin O'Connor of Jazz 88 commented on her 2021 album entitled Color in Motion, "The album is brilliant. She is a gifted musician with a knack for sonic portraiture".
Jenny is also a visual artist and brings her work to showcase along her musical performances.
Chris Olson is a fine musician and educator, living in the Twin Cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. He hates referring to himself in the third person, so he's going to stop now.
