Altoist Jim Snidero started his professional career in 1981 by playing for a year with organist Jack McDuff. After nearly a quarter-century of other musical experiences, he sat in with his friend, organist Mike LeDonne, in 2006 and enjoyed returning to the basic blues, ballads and standards. Their 2007 recording features Snidero playing more boppish and a bit more basic than one might expect, perfectly fitting into the idiom. He caresses the melodies of ballads and brings out the bluish side of the faster tunes. Snidero also contributes three swinging originals, including a tribute to Frank Wess, "Let's Be Frank." Mike LeDonne shows once again that he is one of the top organists around today while guitarist Paul Bollenback and drummer Tony Reedus are as consistent, swinging, and stimulating as ever. ~by Scott Yanow
