Hailed as an "alto sax virtuoso" and a "master musician" by Downbeat Magazine, Jim Snidero has been a highly-respected bandleader and recording artist for over a quarter century. Since making his first recording as a leader entitled On Time (Toshiba/EMI) in 1984, he has contributed to the art form via a remarkably diverse set of recordings (14 to date) on both major and indie labels. These include Strings (Milestone), for which he composed and arranged for string orchestra. This record was called a "masterpiece" by the Philadelphia Weekly, San Francisco Guardian, Swing Journal and Jazz Life magazine, among others. His 2007 Tippin' (Savant) recording with an organ trio was a major hit on US jazz radio, topping the charts for months.
