Cat Show Snapshots is a new assemblage of improvisers with a commitment to interweaving melodic lines and textures in an exploratory but accessible (and subtle) way. Featuring compositions by saxophonist Adam Schneit that range from “free” to rock-like melodies, in addition to covers of the Keith Jarrett American Quartet and the Velvet Undergound, the band is most concerned with using simple materials as the basis for uplifting improvisations. “I like the analogy of a snapshot,” says Schneit, who admits the name was just a few words he saw together on the internet. “Something that conveys what’s really true, instantaneously and with a certain economy. And I like cats. They’re cute.”
