'Far Far Away' is a sonic powerhouse, leveraging every aspect of this magnifcent, all-star quintet

Kurt Rosenwinkel's searing, innovative playing is on full display, Jim Snidero demonstrates a broadsword of a sound, and the rhythm section of Orrin Evans, Peter Washington and Joe Farnsworth groove and interact at the highest levels of artistry.Building on the 5-star success (Downbeat Magazine) of 'Live at The Deer Head Inn', which included Evans, Washington and Farnsworth, Snidero adds jet fuel to the fre with the addition of Rosenwinkel's highly infuential guitar style. The result is an inspired performance bursting at the seams with musicality and
drive.

Jim Snidero's six originals create the perfect mix of current trends and tradition. Swing, Latin, and Euro grooves are all represented, yet the album is surprisingly cohesive, fowing from one tune to the next. The classics "It Might as Well be Spring" and McCoy Tyner's deeply relevant "Search for Peace" round out this amazing recording.
