Eric Reed: Here
by Ken Dryden
Throughout this studio session, Eric Reed shows why many critics consider him to be one of the top pianists of his generation. Well-accompanied by bassist Rodney Whitaker and drummer Willie Jones III, Reed kicks off with a lively interpretation of Benny Golson's jazz standard “Stablemates, on which the shadings and pulse of the rhythm section complement ...
Eric Reed: Here
by Robert R. Calder
Eric Reed's gifts have never been in doubt, whether playing Scott Joplin's “Maple Leaf Rag" on a Wynton Marsalis educational video--or very original swing piano, deliberately jazzless gospel or conteporary jazz in duet with the neglected Johnny O'Neal on the ad lib concert released as Rockin' the Spirit (Chesky, 2005).

Fred Hersch is a pianist's pianist, the finest ballad-oriented player to emerge from the long shadow of Bill Evans. It's a bit ...
Erin Bode: Over and Over
by C. Michael Bailey
Erin Bode is a sorceress of female jazz vocals. On her first recording, Don't Take Your Time (MaxJazz, 2003), the singer spun the threads of Karrin Allyson and Norah Jones with her own Midwestern personality to create a hip synthesis of pop cum jazz songs, serrated with the ragged edge of Cassandra Wilson. Erin ...
