Description
On 'MD66', alto saxophonist and composer Jim Snidero tackles open modal forms and uses his unfettered imagination as a portal into free(r) territory. His band includes trumpeter Alex Sipiagin, pianist Andy LaVerne and drummer Rudy Royston.
He takes his soloing to the next level by working an inside/outside approach that's rooted in the structure and style of each song but radical enough to move in wildly unexpected directions. This is a musical promised land where revelations, whether subtle or seismic in nature, are guided by revolution.
Over the course of the past three decades Snidero has been constantly pushing himself to explore new territories and expand his outlook. In 1989 (!) his extraordinary album 'Blue Afternoon' made its way into 'The Penguin Jazz Guide: The History of the Music in the 1001 Best Albums'. Later on he made his mark in the sax-with-strings department, not only playing at the top of his game, but also composing and arranging all of the music on the project. More recently he's impressed more than a few listeners with a spate of fine albums on Savant.
Personnel: Jim Snidero (alto saxophone), Alex Sipiagin (trumpet), Andy LaVerne (piano), Ugonna Okegwo (bass), Rudy Royston (drums)
