Wendy Eisenberg Viewfinder

Brooklyn-based guitarist, vocalist, composer, and 2026 Coastal Jazz Artist in Residence Wendy Eisenberg’s Viewfinder is a sprawling and sublime creative response to her laser eye surgery procedure and new visual life. An elusive song cycle that encompasses free jazz, post-rock, beauty, fallibility, questioning, seeing anew, and the unseen, “what’s most striking about Viewfinder is Eisenberg’s ability to crystallize their complex, nuanced thoughts about the limits of perception without creating new dogma in the process” (Pitchfork).

Recorded at Brooklyn’s Figure 8 with a lineup that featured rising NYC artists Tyrone Allen II, 

Zekereyya el-Magharbel, Andrew Links, Carmen Q. Rothwell, Booker Stardrum, and Chris Williams, for this special VIJF performance Eisenberg will be joined by West Coast creative lights Dan Gaucher drums and electronics, JP Carter trumpet and electronics, and Nebyu Yohannes trombone, as well as former Vancouverites Sean Cronin bass and Cat Toren piano.

“What’s notable is that Eisenberg, who has in the past proven to be more than capable of shredding, doesn’t necessarily step out in front of the band; their intricate, textural guitar playing acts more as a canvas for the group to fully colour in.” - The Quietus
