Harvey Kubernick in "Canyon Of Dreams," released Oct. 2009, featured Libbie Jo in his section titled "Elegant People" along with Joni Mitchell. Released to rave reviews, it is available on amazon.com as well as bookstores worldwide.
Named "Jazz Critic's Choice" by City Beat Los Angeles, reviewer Kirk Silsbee says, "Not only does Libbie Jo Snyder's sublime flute have a vocal quality, her singing is awfully close to her playing. The weight in her timbre, the subtle vibrato, the sure-toned held notes signify that she's at one with her instrument."
Recently, she has played on the soundtrack of the film "The Eastsiders" with music score by Los Angeles jazz icon Buddy Collette.
Libbie Jo has performed with a variety of musicians and ensembles from the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra to Paul Horn and The Concert Ensemble. She has performed in Australia and Hawaii with her jazz trio, and in Southern California has played a variety of venues including the Peninsula Hotel, Chaya Brasserie in Beverly Hills, Maggiano's at the Grove, the Wilshire Ebell Theater and the historic Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
Her CD "The Flute & Voice of Libbie Jo," produced by pianist Jane Getz, was a finalist in an international jazz competition sponsored by Sony International and includes a bossa nova, "Summer At Last" featured in the film "Made Up," winner at the Santa Barbara Film Festival.
Currently, they are currently collaborating on a recording project, "Wall Of Enchanted Words," scheduled for release in 2010.
