"What makes Pullin' Strings such a charming disc are the little things: the subtle charms woven into each song, the lesser heard gems that only a combo like this would think to record, the way each of these guys swings." - Paul Abella, Chicago Jazz Magazine
About:
Nick Schneider is rated as one of the top bass players in jazz today. He has performed with such greats as Randy Brecker, Eddie Higgins, Buddy Rich Big Band, Teddy Wilson, And The Tonight Show Band just to name a few. He has put together an extensive listening and playing clinic designed for the beginner as well as the advanced player. Nick is also a member of the Arts Center Collective , a septet of musicians residing primarily in the upper Midwest. The Arts Center Jazz Collective is available for clinics and concerts. The group not only has an abundance of professional performance experience but they are also well know educators who are devoted to passing the rich traditions of jazz on to up and coming musicians. In a recent interveiw with the Northwest Herald he was quoted as saying "Our goal is to chase the future a little bit. It's America's art form. It's the only popular music we teach in high school curriculum. I'm a teacher. I teach so young people can perform and carry jazz with them."
