Jenn Cornell Listening Room Experience

https://jenncello.com/

Jenn Cornell is a performer, composer and an educator bringing cello across boundaries with  her visionary style of playing, creating songs that stretch what a cello can be, and inspiring  young musicians with her mentor approach to teaching. Jenn has had a diverse career creating  genre bending music in performance, film scoring, and in the education of the arts. 

Jenn Cornell’s unique sound is an amalgamation born from 33 years of devotion to cello. She  was first a classically trained musician and then realizing she had more to say with cello, she  began making the sounds she heard in her head. Jenn recalls, 

“I used to have these reoccurring dreams where I would see my hand flying up and down the  fingerboard and hear sounds coming out from my cello that I had never made. I would wake up  with this feeling of freedom and vitality that I wanted that same feeling in real life. Once I had  the taste of freedom on my cello in my dreams, it changed my whole approach to music  forever.” 

So, she started treating her cello as if it was a guitar, a drum set, an electric bass, and (in her  biggest strength) to play the cello emulating some of the great rock and jazz soloists that she  looked up to; the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Miles Davis, and Jean-Luc Ponty; shredding on  her solos and improvising jazz riffs. Bringing effects, looping, and the world renowned Turkish  percussionist/drummer Emrah Kotan into the mix, Jenn Cornell’s sound became instantly  recognizable as her own and her music’s genre sitting at the cross roads of Classical  Fusion, Rock, World and Crossover Jazz. 

Jenn Cornell’s cello stylings have also lend them self well to other artist’s including: double  platinum bill-board artist B.o.B.; Michael Malarkey of the hit TV series “Vampire Diaries”; and to  film maker Chris Anthony Hamilton in the original music soundtrack she composed for “Body  and Son”. 

Jenn performs in many different venues from Performing Arts Centers, Clubs, Schools  and Universities, to one of her repeating engagements at the world’s busiest airport Jackson Hartsfield International Airport where she gets to keep her finger on the pulse of not  onlyAtlanta, but also connecting her to the world and her music to it. In addition to performing, Jenn is committed to using music to make the world a better place and brings her music to  hospitals and assisted living homes; as well as, mentors as head of the string department at  the Community Music Centers of Atlanta. 

Jenn Cornell believes that music has the power to move energy and she continues to use her talent’s  to do so in all the ways she can.
