Eric Reed Quartet at Smoke Jazz Club

Eric Reed – piano
Dan Wilson – guitar
Luca Alemanno – bass
Billy Drummond – drums

Eric Reed leads a captivating quartet with guitarist Dan Wilson, bassist Luca Alemanno, and drummer Billy Drummond. On the heels of his release earlier this year of a new album Black, Brown, and Blue, celebrating music by composers of color, Reed called it a milestone calling it “the culmination of my life thus far. I’m freer than I’ve ever been in my personal life, and I’m freer than I’ve ever been in my music. I’m accepting who I am. I love who I am. And as I continue to evolve – my artistry, my sexuality, and my overall humanity – my music will continue to become more and more personal.” A widely respected and popular musician and mentor, Reed first rose to fame with Wynton Marsalis and has performed with artists as varied as Jessye Norman, Quincy Jones, and Patti Labelle. His perpetually swinging and sophisticated style has made him one of the important ambassadors of the music.
