Bio
City Limits is all about originality.
The 10 tracks that make up City Limits have a strong melodic sense that is complex yet will echo in your inner ear. The songs are steeped in the tradition of jazz but have a sense of adventure that can’t be contained.
Justin Snikkar is a native Torontonian who has played bass on the scene and around the world for over 20 years in many guises.
City Limits is his debut recording as a solo artist. All of the compositions are his, and are as revealing as any autobiography. After many years of hard knocks and honing his craft, he has constructed a product that’s ready to leave its mark on any open minded listener who’s ready to challenge their assumptions about what jazz can be.
Influences for this CD are: Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Frank Zappa and Wayne Krantz.
Tracks from City Limits can be heard on Galaxie – Jazz Now.
Justin is joined by Bob Brough on Sax, Marc Pizer on Drums, Mario Potestio on guitar and Sam Heineman on Hammond Organ.
