November 9, 2007 | Aaron Weinstein wants to be happy

Former mandolin student of Don Stiernberg, and recent graduate of Berklee School of Music, Aaron Weinstein has posted a wonderful video of the swing tune "I Want to Be Happy" on his Myspace page.

Already a seasoned veteran in his early 20's, having recorded and/or toured with the likes of Bucky Pizzarelli, Gene Bertoncini, Claude Phillips, Frank Vignola, and Skitch Henderson, Weinstein's swing fiddle prowess is well beyond his years. He's recently wrapping up a duo recording with jazz superstar John Pizzarelli, soon to be released.

We've been privileged to hear his mandolining; someday, we're hoping to hear some formal mandolin recordings as well.
