Youthful pianist
Eric Reed, who at the time of this recording was debuting as
Marcus Roberts' replacement in the
Wynton Marsalis band, plays carefully and sometimes tentatively on his first release as a leader. It's a trio affair, and although
Reed doesn't throw many challenges toward bassist Dwayne Burno or drummer Gregory Hutchinson, he's certainly a solid player with the potential to become a great one. ~ Ron Wynn
