Eric Reed, named in the “Rising Star, Piano” category in this year’s Downbeat magazine’s 59th Annual International Critics Poll, will release Something Beautiful on WJ3 Records on October 18. This collection marks Reed’s 20th CD as a leader - a milestone for a musician of Reed’s young age. Something Beautiful exemplifies Reed’s extraordinary song writing and ability to deftly re-imagine some of the most remarkable tunes in the jazz, gospel and pop idioms. The world-renowned pianist is joined by bassist Reuben Rogers and drummer Rodney Green who serve as the ideal match for Reed’s intense and urging style. Included among the outstanding tracks on Something Beautiful are jazz standards “Sun Out,” penned by saxophonist Lucky Thompson; Dave Brubeck’s “In Your Own Sweet Way;” Irving Berlin’s “How Deep Is The Ocean;” Rodgers & Hart’s “I Still Believe In You” and re-imaginings of pop and rock tunes “Black Tables,” originally heard on the “Grey’s Anatomy” TV series and recorded by the band Other Lives; and Billy Joel’s “Honesty” to which Reed gives haunting and velvety treatment. The collection closes with two of the pianist’s original compositions: the title track and “If I Knew You.”
