Distinctive Jazz is the domain of this group of Boston-area musicians. The band has a groove emphasis, and is armed with a large repertoire that includes ageless standard tunes; arrangements of compositions by top jazz artists; cutting-edge, contemporary R&B and funk-inflected material; and an impressive body of interesting original music.

Among the many high points of 2007 and 2009 were the quartet's residencies as visiting scholars at Thacher School, in Ojai, CA. 

"Playing in nearly every possible type of band from jazz, to rock, R&B, and show music for the past 30 years has given Boston area bass player Mark Snyder a pretty broad spectrum of musical experience to choose from. He draws from all of that with his band The Mark Snyder Quartet, a groovy combo of rocking guitars, drums, sax, and flute that digs deep into old standards, modern jazz classics, and funky originals..." - The Boston Globe
