Eric Reed: Merry Magic

Read "Merry Magic" reviewed by Celeste Sunderland


The best kinds of holiday albums are the ones that offer a diverse selection of songs while holding true to the theme. Pianist Eric Reed's new Christmas disc Merry Magic combines hard-swinging bebop with slow, graceful ballads, a little Latin spice, and evangelical organ. It culls up all the emotions of the season, from childlike anticipation ...

Eric Reed: E-Bop

Read "E-Bop" reviewed by Joel Roberts


Eric Reed, who spent a week at the Village Vanguard in October with his septet, says the compositions on his new album are a reflection not just of his musical tastes but of what's currently going on in his life. If that's the case, the Philadelphia-born pianist must be living a very good life indeed. The ...

Donald Harrison: Real Life Stories

Read "Real Life Stories" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


Nouveau Swing... Alto saxophonist Donald Harrison is all about dance. It is danceable rhythms that fuel his nouveau swing vision of jazz.

Eric Reed: Happiness

Read "Happiness" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


When is a big band not a big band? Perhaps the more important question is “What difference does it make?" Happiness employs an octet or nonette (depending on the cut) that sounds like a big band. It is these intermediate sized combos that have always intrigued me with their graceful passage form small combo to big ...

Eric Reed: Happiness

Read "Happiness" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Pianist Eric Reed soars to towering heights with this uplifting and altogether superior new release, featuring fellow “Wynton Marsalis Group” constituents; trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, alto saxophonist Wessell Anderson and other jazz sharpshooters, as this eleven-piece outfit delivers the goods in rather explosive fashion. No doubt, Reed possesses enviable chops, yet his concoction of cleverly organized motifs ...
