Jim Snidero: Close Up
by Derek Taylor
Prose laureate Whitney Balliett coined the phrase “the sound of surprise" as an encomium for jazz. Like most of his peers, saxophonist Jim Snidero shoots regularly for this ideal. His new Milestone effort flirts with the target but doesn't quite hit the bull's-eye. An accessible program of original tunes shored up by two standards, each cogently ...

Jim Snidero: Strings
by David A. Orthmann
By staying in touch with his roots as a hard blowing alto saxophonist and leader of razor-sharp small bands, Jim Snidero has successfully married a ten-piece string section and a conventional jazz quartet. His arrangements of six original compositions (including the three-part “River Suite”) and two standards entail a constant shifting between the relative freedom of ...
Jim Snidero: Strings
by C. Michael Bailey

Jim Snidero: The Music Of Joe Henderson
by Mark Corroto
This past year, rumors of Joe Henderson’s death flooded the internet. Luckily, those rumors were unfounded. While Henderson was taking some time off from performing, his compositions weren’t.

Jim Snidero: The Music of Joe Henderson
by C. Andrew Hovan
For some inexplicable reason, the alto saxophone has fallen out of favor over the past few years. Just think about it, how many name alto players can you rattle off in one minute? Probably only thought about by a select few astute followers, Jim Snidero should be better known than he currently is. It's not like ...
