ERIC SCOTT REED QUINTET

“Out Late” Record Release Celebration

Eric Scott Reed celebrates the release of his brilliant new album, Out Late, joined by an extraordinary quintet featuring trumpeter Nicholas Payton, saxophonist Eric Alexander, bassist Dezron Douglas, and drummer Willie Jones III. Downbeat praises Reed as “one of those tremendously gifted players, while All About Jazz notes that he has “fully established himself at the forefront of jazz pianists.” A child prodigy who honed his craft in his father’s storefront Baptist Church, Reed has been a key figure in jazz for over three decades. Ahmad Jamal cited Redd as “one of my very favorite pianists.” In addition to his virtuosic playing, he is a gifted composer and Out Late, and these performances will feature his latest original works.
