"Chick’s Tunes" is a heartfelt tribute to Chick Corea, emphasizing swing and the blues. Featuring tenor saxophonist Ralph Moore, Eric Scott Reed’s quartet revisits Corea’s compositions with reverence and passion, honoring his legacy while highlighting a new generation’s voices and deep respect for the legacy of Jazz music. Eric Scott Reed has been a vital force in jazz for over 25 years, excelling as a leader, composer, producer, educator, and sideman with legends like Freddie Hubbard and Wynton Marsalis. His recordings, such as The Adventurous Monk and Groovewise, showcase his innovative approach to jazz standards and original compositions.

Born in West Philadelphia, Reed’s early church experiences and formal training at Settlement Music School and The Colburn School shaped his eclectic musical sensibility. After joining Marsalis's band and moving to New York, Reed became a fixture in the jazz scene, recording seminal albums and mentoring young talents.

Returning to Los Angeles and later teaching at The University of Tennessee, Reed embraced personal and artistic growth. In 2024, he debuted XYZ, a dynamic ensemble, reaffirming his dedication to jazz's evolving landscape. Reed’s journey exemplifies his commitment to creativity, education, and spiritual exploration.
