Larry Schneider (musician)

Larry Schneider (born July 26, 1949) is an American jazz saxophonist.

Schneider grew up in Long Island and attended the University of Massachusetts, where he initially planned a career in biology but decided to become a professional musician instead. After relocating to New York City, he played as a sideman in the 1970s with Billy Cobham, the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra, Horace Silver, Jim McNeely, Mike Richmond, and Bill Evans. Around 1980 he moved again, to San Francisco, where he worked with Hein van de Geyn and John Abercrombie, and increasingly played in Europe in the later 1980s and 1990s, with François Jeanneau, the Orchestre National de Jazz, Marc Ducret, François Méchali, Alain Soler, André Jaume, Éric Barret and others. He has also played with Giacomo Aula, George Gruntz, Shivananda, Andy LaVerne, Richie Beirach, Jim McNeely, Dave Stryker, Steve LaSpina, Billy Hart, Keith Copeland, Adam Nussbaum, and Anton Fig.
