Bob Sneider & Paul Hofman: Escapade

Read "Escapade" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


Bob Sneider and Paul Hofmann called their first collaborative effort “Interconnection," and that was an apt name, for the two showed that they had an affinity that resulted in some darned fine music. Though their second collaboration finds them concentrating on original material, they also look at standards, including a Nat Cole medley, and even add ...

Bob Sneider and Joe Locke Film Noir Project: Fallen Angel

Read "Fallen Angel" reviewed by Robert R. Calder


Very, very nice this one is, the absence of an overall noir atmosphere no cause for complaint. The project, under the leadership of Bob Sneider and Joe Locke, looks at the scores of cinematic works of the film noir genre, simply for material worth performing. Maybe somebody thought the genre might have occasioned unusual inspiration and ...

The Bob Sneider and Joe Locke Film Noir Project: Fallen Angel

Read "Fallen Angel" reviewed by Dr. Judith Schlesinger


This music is as subtle and nuanced as the shadows in an old black-and-white movie. Like the film noir that inspired it, Fallen Angel is romantic and jaded, beautiful and cynical, and full of longing and disappointment, all at the same time. The material is excellent: vibraphonist Joe Locke's “Fallen Angel" and pianist Paul Hofmann's “Last ...

The Bob Sneider & Joe Locke Film Noir Project: Fallen Angel

Read "Fallen Angel" reviewed by John Kelman


Upstate New York might seem an unlikely place for a jazz scene to develop, but Rochester's renowned Eastman School of Music has provided fertile common ground for a wealth of players to come together over the years. Guitarist Bob Sneider and pianist Paul Hofmann, for example, recorded Interconnection (Sons of Sound, 2004) and a recently released ...

Bob Sneider & Paul Hoffmann: Interconnection

Read "Interconnection" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Any literate review of Interconnection will mention the classic duo recordings Bill Evans and Jim Hall made in the mid-'60s, and for good reason: guitarist Bob Sneider and pianist Paul Hoffmann approach improvisation in much the same way. Their world is one of dynamic interaction, spare phrasing, polite poise, clean tone, and a certain intangible cerebral ...
