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 the likes of 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 as a leader for the Reservoir

Music label. These CD’s contain over twenty Schneiderman originals as well as
arrangements of many standards. 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
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.
