About Eric Reed
Known for his mastery of straight-ahead post-bop and gospel idioms, pianist Eric Reed has pursued a rewarding solo career after to coming the public's attention as a member of Wynton Marsalis' band in the late 1980s. On his own, Reed has issued a bevy of well-regarded albums like 1993's It's All Right to Swing, 1998's Pure Imagination, and 2009's Stand!, balancing his love of jazz, swing, and African-American church traditions. With Marsalis, he contributed to such lauded albums as 1992's Citi Movement and 1997's Pulitzer Prize-winning Blood on the Fields. Reed has continued to explore different sounds, moving from his own gospel- and hard bop-influenced albums like 2019's Everybody Gets the Blues to more expansive collaborations such as 2020's Prism with saxophonist Ralph Moore and Denmark's Matthias Petri and Andreas Svendsen.
