A Bach Dancing & Dynamite Society presentation at the Douglas Beach House, Half Moon Bay, CA
March 20, 2011 – 4:30, $35 JIM SNIDERO QUARTET
New Yorker “alto sax virtuoso” and “master musician” (Downbeat), highlight music from new release “Interface” (Savant).
Jim Snidero- Alto Sax, Bill Cunliffe- Piano, Paul Gill- Bass, Jason Tiemann- Drums
Described as being “soulful, swinging and yet utterly modern”, New York based alto saxophonist Jim Snidero’s music seems to encapsulate what is both unique and compelling about jazz. Called an “alto sax virtuoso” and “master musician” (Downbeat), as well as a “genuinely significant figure in jazz composition” (Penguin Guide to Jazz), Snidero is a veteran recording artist (EMI, Milestone, Savant, etc …) and sideman (Mingus Big Band, Frank Sinatra, Eddie Palmieri, Jack McDuff, etc …) that can truly say “been there, done that”.
