Rob Schneiderman Trio
Pianist Rob Schneiderman was born in Boston,
Massachusetts, raised in California, and has resided in New York City
for over 30 years. His Jazz career began in San Diego playing piano for
visiting soloists such as Eddie Harris, Sonny Stitt, Harold Land and
Charles McPherson. A move to New York in 1982 led to performing and
touring experience with J.J. Johnson, Chet Baker, James Moody, Art
Farmer and Clifford Jordan, including trips to Europe and Japan.
A performance fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts
featured Rob 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 for the Reservoir Music
label. Among the sidemen featured on these dates are 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
recordings as a sideman include sessions with Eddie Harris, J.J.
Johnson, TanaReid, and Brian Lynch.
Rob’s latest recording as a leader, "Tone Twister", was released in
Fall of 2017 on Brian Lynch’s Hollistic MusicWorks label. "Tone
Twister" features Brian Lynch on trumpet, Ralph Moore on saxophone,
Gerald Cannon on bass, and Pete Van Nostrand on drums.
Rob received a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of California
at Berkeley, and is currently on the faculty of the Department of
Mathematics at Lehman College, City University of New York.
