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.
