Chamber Music America Conference Showcase
Join Us at the CMA Conference
for “a shining example” of chamber jazz
The Housewarming Project is one of the most dynamic and lyrical groups in jazz today.
Combining the spontaneity of jazz, the intimacy of chamber music, and the soulfulness of the singer-songwriter movement, The Housewarming Project (Jeremy Siskind, Lucas Pino, Nancy Harms) delivers music that “seems to defy all boundaries while remaining totally accessible, totally engaging.” (Jazz Ink blog)
“[The performance] reached, in fact, beyond music, into a transformative event in which the players, the music, and the location blended into an intimate togetherness, drawing its listeners into a kind of complete experiential participation.”
– Don Heckman, International Review of Music
“A shining example of chamber jazz. Siskind “has mastered [the] craft” of “showcase[ing] each player without disguise or artifice, while emphasizing the music’s detail and nuance.” ★★★★
– Carlo Wolff, Downbeat Magazine

Golden Rule, Turing Test @ Lincoln Center
The project that I’ve co-created with Lucas Pino, “Golden Rule, Turing Test,” is nearly ready to go! It will debut at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola in Jazz at Lincoln Center on June 20th. “Golden Rule, Turing Test” is an exploration of the relationship of compassion and technology in the digital age for jazz nonet and two vocalists. I’ve been helping brainstorm the concepts and write the lyrics while Lucas has been writing and arranging the music. It’s sure to be an exciting premiere!
