The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents
Eric Reed
Air Date: 3/26/2023 on 90.5 WICN 8am-12pm ET
Ever since I first heard him on his 1997 release Pure Imagination, I have admired the piano work of Eric Reed. I recall listening to the title track many times over, enjoying the way way he slowed the song down, perhaps a bit like the way Shirley Horn did so many times in her career.
It's been a long time since his last release, Groovewise, in 2014. Now we have his latest release, Black, Brown, and Blue, a tribute to black and brown composers and songwriters.
The song selection is superb, with McCoy Tyner's Search for Peace placed back-to-back with Horace Silver's Peace, to reinforce an idea. We have a song Christina written by Buster Williams, whose new CD Unalome has also just been released.
Also included is material by Thelonious Monk, Wayne Shorter, Bennie Golson, and Stevie Wonder. There are original compositions as well.
Listen for Search for Peace in the first hour, and Along Came Betty in the second.
