LINER NOTES with David Bixler featuring Jim Snidero

 


In his early twenties, saxophonist Jim Snidero
had surrounded himself with the music of the John
Coltrane quartet and the Miles Davis
quintet, however upon moving to New York City forty years ago and
coming face to face with the tradition, he did an about face and
dedicated himself to the pursuit of bebop. In the last decade he
has used the foundation of the tradition do give breadth to more
contemporary leanings. His new recording, Far Far
Away featuring Kurt Rosenwinkel is
the latest offering in this path.
