Minnie Jordan Quartet — live event
Minnie Jordan is a violinist, composer, and educator currently based in Brooklyn, NY. Her sound combines contemporary jazz with Texas country roots, and mixes Americana influences and classical training into the magic melting pot of modern improvisation. She has years of experience playing Jazz, Bluegrass, Western Swing, Classic Country, New Acoustic, and Classical music. Growing up on a ranch in rural Texas, Minnie was immersed in the sounds of Western Swing and Texas fiddle. She began playing publicly at age 9 in a duo with her younger sister, Ella. The two played their first festival soon after, winning the youth talent competition and showcasing at the Old Settlers Music Festival. Minnie attended Berklee College of Music and the Berklee Global Jazz Institute and graduated with a B.M. in Performance and an M.M. in Contemporary Jazz Performance. Other honors have included use of the Daniel Pearl Memorial Violin (awarded at the Mark O’Connor String Conference), the Sam Eisenson Award for Country Music (from Berklee), JEN Sisters in Jazz Combo (under the direction of Ingrid Jensen), nominee/semi-finalist for the NextJazz Legacy Award, and a FreshGrass Award.
