"Ed Reed makes the standards all his own."
Andrew Gilbert, The Boston Globe
"Ed Reed has... made his artistic mark on the jazz world as a first-rate
performing and recording artist."
Owen McNally, The Hartford Courant
Ed Reed says: “I love to come into a room with great players and a listening audience and see what happens when we meet each tune as if it is brand new, with all of its possibilities lying in front of it. Then we, the players, get to search it, seek it, play with it, and light it up like it has never been lit before. Then at the last note, the musicians and I grin like new parents and it can be so beautiful.”
Duke Ellington has been called America’s Greatest Jazz Artist and Composer!
