Description:Eric ??Poppa? Reed hat das Piano-Trio-Album für diese seltsame Zeit aufgenommen. ??For Such a Time as This?? fasziniert mit Klassikern wie ??We Shall Overcome? und Eigenkompositionen wie ??Bebophobia?? Seit über drei Jahrzehnten ist Eric Reed einer der beliebtesten und einflussreichsten Pianisten der amerikanischen Jazzwelt. Sein vielleicht persönlichstes Album biher ist ??For Such a Time as This??, ein kraftvolles, inspirierendes und erfrischendes Set, das Themen wie die neue Realität der Pandemie-?ngste, Rassismus, Unsicherheit und Ungerechtigkeit im Lichte der anstehenden Präsidentschaftswahl behandelt. Es war Anfang 2020 in Los Angeles, als der Ausbruch der COVID-19-Pandemie einen stadtweiten Lockdown auslöste, und Reed begann, das Album "For Such A Time As This?? in LA mit lokalen Musikern aufzunehmen. Ende Juni hatte er ein begabtes junges Quartett zusammengestellt, um eigene Originale, sorgfältig ausgewählte Standards und Gospels-Songs aufzunehmen . Die für diese Session versammelte Gruppe - der Schlagzeuger Kevin Kanner, der in Australien geborene Bassist Alex Boneham und der Tenor- und Sopransaxophonist Chris Lewis - zeigt dennoch die Chemie einer erfahrenen, bestens eingespielten Band. Reeds Originalkomposition ??Make Me Better?? wird von Henry Jackson gesungen, der ??alles, was ich mir erhoffe und wünsche, genau beschreibt". - .. AS THIS
For more than three decades, Eric Reed has been one of the most influential and beloved jazz musicians. He's recorded close to 30 accomplished leader albums showcasing his virtuosic chops, intellectual clarity and unwavering will to swing. Most remarkable is his ability to refract and coalesce a wide range of musical, spiritual, and personal influences into a single stream of consciousness. This is perhaps the most personal of them all. For Such a Time as This is a powerful and uplifting program framed by the realities of global pandemic anxiety, persistent racism and racial injustice, and an acrimonious, fraught Presidential election season. It was in Los Angeles in early 2020, when the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a city-wide shutdown, that Reed made the decision to record the album with local L.A. musicians. By the end of June, he was ready and had assembled a gifted, young quartet to record a set of recently penned originals, carefully chosen standard old chestnuts, and - as he has done regularly over the past 15 years - some restorative Gospel selections.
