about

A strong and unique collaboration between two of America's greatest jazz heroes and two of Denmark's young, new talents. The group, consisting of Eric Reed (piano), Ralph Moore (tenor saxophone), Andreas Svendsen (drums) and Matthias Petri (bass) has existed since 2015, and is now ready to release the album Prism on Nov. 22nd.

Eric Reed is one of America's most famous pianists. With his strong roots in gospel churchs traditions, he is recognized for his natural approach to music, and is described as a rare talent on his instrument. Eric Reed has played with legends such as: Teddy Edwards, Buddy Collette, Clora Bryant, Billy Higgins, Gerald Wilson and The Clayton Brothers. However, he is probably best known for his work with world renowned trumpet player Wynton Marsalis, for whom he was a pianist from 1990. Since then he has recorded numerous albums both in his own name but also for other artists.

The group's saxophonist Ralph Moore, originally English, left the American jazz scene desolate for aspiring saxophonists as he played with practically everyone on the US Jazz scene, shortly after arriving in the United States. These include Ray Brown, Horace Silver, Roy Haynes, Charles Mingus Dynasty, Freddie Hubbard, Roy Hargrove, Oscar Peterson, J. J. Johnson and many, many more.

As the second half of the group's massive rhythm battery, we find Denmark’s is arguably best young drummer Andreas Svendsen. Andreas is sought after on both the Danish and international jazz scene as well as the Danish pop scene. His versatility has earned him a phenomenal reputation, which has meant he has played with Jeremy Pelt, Ronnie Cuber, Jacob Fischer, Tomas Franck, Jakob Dinesen, Hugo Rasmussen, Danny Grissett, Emmet Cohen, Justin Kauflin, Charenee Wade and many more.

Last but not least we have Matthias Petri - One of the most sought after bassists in Denmark, who has quietly built a solid reputation since moving to Copenhagen in 2010. He has since played with numerous names such as Jonathan Blake, Eric Reed, Matt Parker, Nikolaj Bentzon, Ben Van Gelder, Charanee Wade, Rakalam Bob-Moses, Shannon Powell, Aaron Parks, Kresten Osgood, Palle Mikkelborg to name a few.

Prism is a direct and uncompromising jazz release featuring 10 compositions performed by the members of the group. These compositions are exposed here to both cultural and generational differences, which rounds them off and moves the entire collaboration into a higher unity.

Unreleased Art Pepper Vol. 10—Toronto
by Art Pepper

supported by 4 fans who also own “Prism”

This is the first show of Art Pepper's first tour ever and he sounds like he's having a ball, playing with warm, fleet-fingered exuberance, which is infectious on the latin grooves and cookers. The ballads will break your frickin' heart though. This version of The Summer Knows is simply monumental. It's worth the price of admission by itself. I love how the rhythm section matches Art's intensity. Bernie Senensky is stellar and has a great rapport with Art. waylonfeedback

Touch My Beloved's Thought
by Greg Ward

supported by 4 fans who also own “Prism”

Ward's swirling, breezy sax feels very close and intimate - listening to it I pictured myself in a small basement room as the band played - but the 10 tongues paint a joyful and sophisticated urban fairytale that changes scene cinematically and builds to a satisfying finale. Tom Colquhoun

Dizzy Atmosphere
by Dave Douglas

supported by 4 fans who also own “Prism”

This is a wonderful album! Dave Douglas is one of my heroes. He's more than a great musician. He has a vision for the music and a feeling for putting together a group which is unique. So, beside Joey Baron (another heavyweight and one of my absolute favourite drummers) he invited some young cats to this session. They play just great and make sure that this music sounds totally fresh, whilst at the same time being deeply rooted in the jazz tradition. Florian Arbenz
