Hear the young pianist and composer give a solo performance of "Cedar's Blues" in a 1995 session.
Pianist and composer Eric Reed began playing piano as a small child. He was only 18 when he played his first string of gigs with Wynton Marsalis — work that catapulted him to the forefront of jazz. He's performed with Joe Henderson, Betty Carter and Joshua Redman, among others, and has established himself as a notable bandleader, producer and educator. In this 1995 episode of Piano Jazz, a 24-year-old Reed displays his distinctive style in a solo performance of "Cedar's Blues." Originally broadcast in the fall of 1995. SET LIST "Cedar's Blues" (Walton) "Goodbye" (Jenkins) "I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart" (Ellington) "I'm A Fool To Want You" (Sinatra, Wolf, Herron) "Sweet Lorraine" (Burwell, Parish) "Evergreen" (Reed) Free Piece (McPartland, Reed) "Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea" (Arlen, Mercer)  |
