Reed,Eric Reflections Of A Grateful Heart CD

Reflections Of A Grateful Heart is the latest CD release from Eric Reed, one of the most innovative pianists in modern jazz. This CD features Reed in a rare solo piano setting, performing jazz and gospel selections and celebrating the music that has been this critically-renown artist's greatest influences. Reflections Of A Grateful Heart includes the gospel standards 'I Love The Lord' by Richard Smallwood, 'Changed' by Walter Hawkins, and solo piano renditions of Reed's own compositions 'Prayer,' and 'New Morning.' Reed, whose first performances were in his father's storefront Baptist church, was bitten by the jazz bug after hearing recordings by Art Blakey, Ramsey Lewis and Dave Brubeck. Reflections Of A Grateful Heart is the continuation of Reed artistically blending his jazz and gospel influences in a unique fashion.
