SCRAPPER Discount Nicekicks

The Scrapper, John Sneider’s first album released under his own name in 20 years, finds him re-united with his original band. He’s among friends, doing what he loves: swinging. A lot can change in 20 years, but some things remain constant. For John Sneider, that includes the rhythm section of Larry Goldings on organ, Andy Watson on drums and John Hart on guitar, all of whom appeared on his first record. A long time leader of his own groups, Sneider has performed with Max Roach, Curtis Fuller, The Mingus Big Band, The Frank Foster All-Star Big Band, Clark Terry, Cab Calloway, Andy Bey, Brad Mehldau, and Larry Goldings. Sneider also composes and arranges music for television and radio commercials.
