“Alto Saxophone Virtuoso” - Downbeat Magazine “Snidero has let his influences reveal something special”- The Times “ An alto saxophone sound that is one of the richest and purest on the planet”- Stereophile Magazine
Jim Snidero grew up in Maryland and moved to New York in 1981, touring early on with organ legend Brother Jack McDuff. He's since recorded with Frank Sinatra, the Mingus Big Band, and Sting, and led 27 albums of his own, including Blue Afternoon, later named one of the best jazz albums ever made by The Penguin Jazz Guide. His 2021 record Live at the Deer Head Inn earned a rare 5-star Downbeat rating, and Downbeat's 2024 critics poll placed him in the top five alto saxophonists working today.
At Jazz, TX he plays music from House of Trane, joined by Stefan Karlsson on piano, Ugonna Okegwo on bass, and Jason Tiemann on drums.
