A child prodigy, he started piano lessons at age 5, and began playing clarinet at 10. After graduating college, Schneider spent four years on the road with Earl Fatha Hines; their union produced the album Eric and Earl. He then joined the Count Basie Orchestra and toured with Basie for two years, recording three albums including the Grammy Award-winning 88 Basie Street. The list of luminaries Schneider has performed and toured with includes Tony Bennett, Benny Goodman, Mel Torme, Ella Fitzgerald, Joe Williams, Sarah Vaughn, Rosemary Clooney and Billy Eckstine. Leading his own group, Schneider has produced two full-length recordings and has appeared on many others. Jeff Lindberg represents a new breed of American conductors who are equally adept with the literatures of the American jazz orchestra and the European symphony orchestra. As well as holding the position of artistic director of the Chicago Jazz Orchestra, Lindberg is music director of the Wooster Symphony Orchestra in Ohio, now in its 88th season. Co-founder of the Jazz Members Big Band in 1978, Lindberg is an active transcriber of original jazz recordings and has received numerous commissions from the Smithsonian Institution for such work. His transcriptions have been performed by such artists as Joe Williams, Clark Terry, Gunther Schuller and David Baker, and by such orchestras as the Count Basie Orchestra, the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra, the Woody Herman Orchestra and the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band. In 1993, two of Lindberg's transcriptions were performed at The White House by the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra. Lindberg recently was commissioned by the Billy Strayhorn estate to transcribe recordings of the composer's works that are presently unpublished. As a symphonic and jazz conductor, Lindberg has performed with such artists as Misha Dichter, William Warfield, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, Milton Hinton, Clark Terry and Joe Williams. A Professor of Music at The College of Wooster in Ohio, Lindberg is a graduate of Homewood-Flossmoor High School and holds Bachelor and Master of Music Education degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He received a Paul Harris Fellowship from Rotary International for post-graduate study at the Academy of Music in Vienna and a Conducting Fellowship at the Aspen Music Festival.
