Description:

To mark the 40th anniversary of his debut recording as a bandleader in 1984, alto saxophonist Jim Snidero set out to create something special with his 28th album-and his second trio project to date with jazz masters Peter Washington on bass and Joe Farnsworth on drums. Fresh off the success of For All We Know (Savant), particularly the standout track "Parkers Mood", Snidero felt the time was right to pay tribute to Charlie Parker, an artist he regards as "the king of the hill." Ranked among the top five alto saxophonists in Down Beat's 2024 Critics Poll, Snidero is more than qualified to honor one of the bebop pioneers.

"Bird Feathers" is an exceptional jazz album by renowned alto saxophonist Jim Snidero, released in CD format by the respected label Savant. This recording showcases Snidero's masterful command of bebop and post-bop traditions, featuring both original compositions and inventive interpretations of classic standards. The album highlights his lyrical phrasing, technical brilliance, and deep emotional expression, making it a must-have for any serious jazz enthusiast. Jim Snidero has built a distinguished career as both a performer and educator; he has played with legends such as Jack McDuff and Frank Sinatra, recorded numerous acclaimed albums as a leader, and authored influential instructional books for saxophone students worldwide. His work consistently receives praise from critics for its creativity and authenticity. Savant Records is known for its dedication to high-quality jazz releases that spotlight innovative artists across the genre?s spectrum.
