Synopsis

Amazon.com

Since Wynton Marsalis discovered him, pianist Eric Reed has emerged as one of the most lyrical improvisers of his generation, a lyricism on display in this pleasing release. Backed by bassist Dwayne Burno and drummer Cecil Brooks III, Reed delivers delicate and dancing renditions of jazz standards and popular songs from Tin Pan Alley and classical to rock. He puts an Ahmad Jamal "Poinciana" bounce on the McCartney-Lennon hit "Yesterday," and spices Chopin's "Prelude in E Minor" with bossa nova beats. Reed's elegant chords on "I'll Never Stop Loving You" recall Erroll Garner's sound, and on the Iberian-tinged "Flamenco Sketches" (from the historic LP Kind of Blue), Reed echoes Bill Evans's Ravelian sound. Mr. Reed understands the importance of finding his own musical voice by learning from the masters. --Eugene Holley Jr.

CD Reviews

Flawless

04/12/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Eric Reed is one of the most gifted young pianists around, and this album proves it. His piano playing is both techinally masterful, yet also encorparates wonderful serentic and romantic moods during every song in the album. It is definately worth the buy. Reed's genius as an arranger should also be credited and applauded. Standouts of the album include the "Prelude in E minor" which incorporates Jobim's "How Insensitive" and Monk's classic ballad, "Round Midnight." This album is wonderful on all accounts and is not worth missing. Buy it!"

"Want to know what Eric Reed is all about, and what's in his heart, listen to "I'll Never Stop Loving You." If that's not enough, try "Flamenco Sketches" and understand why Miles would likely be proud."

Rapturous, Romantic, Delicious

"Eric Reed's performance and arrangements are both delicate and sumptuous, reflective and passionate. I haven't followed jazz for a few years, but this is the album to bring me back. He's a wonderful talent and a REAL pianist who is able to infuse classic jazz motifs with a contemporary sensibility. Wonderful!"
