Rob Schneiderman was born in Boston, Massachusetts, grew up in California and has lived in New York City for over 30 years. His jazz career began in San Diego, where he played as a pianist for guest soloists such as Eddie Harris, Sonny Stitt, Harold Land and Charles McPherson. A move to New York in 1982 led to performances and tours with such greats as J.J. Johnson, Chet Baker, James Moody, Art Farmer and Clifford Jordan, including trips to Europe and Japan. As part of a National Endowment for the Arts grant, Rob worked with George Coleman, Jimmy Heath, Claudio Roditi and Slide Hampton. The collaboration with Slide resulted in the CD New Outlook, the first of Rob's ten recordings as a leader for the Reservoir Music label. These CDs contain over twenty Schneiderman originals as well as arrangements of many standards. Accompanying musicians featured on these recordings include Charles McPherson, Billy Higgins, Rufus Reid, Brian Lynch, Ralph Moore, Peter Washington, Lewis Nash, Akira Tana, Billy Hart, Gary Smulyan and Ben Riley. Rob's Reservoir CD Keepin' in the Groove received 4 ½ stars (out of five) from Down Beat Magazine. Rob's recordings as a sideman include sessions with Eddie Harris, J.J. Johnson, TanaReid and Brian Lynch's Unsung Heroes project. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
