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.
Eric Reed has also released music as a member of Black/Note and Eric Reed Trio.
