Jim Snidero with Kurt Rosenwinkel —
Far Far Away ... CD Savant, 2023. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A record that seems to bristle with color and life throughout – a surprisingly strong pairing of the tenor of Jim Snidero and the guitar of Kurt Rosenwinkel – the latter of whom seems to have a bit more bite than usual, but also seems to infect Snidero's horn with his innate sense of ...
