ED REED's bittersweet journey through jazz is remarkable. From deep roots in childhood in childhood, learning to sing chord changes from Charles Mingus (whose sister lived in his neighborhood) detours in prison, to a chance meeting with Peck Allmond at a jazz camp, whicih has led him to his current wild ride to such venues as Yoshi's on the West Coast and clubs such as the Jazz Standard in New York. Through it all his love for the music has been the one constant in his life, and it shows. "Reed ... has a smooth, expressive and caramel-toned voice, precise diction and exact intonation." - Jazziz Magazine
