Eric Reed - Merry Magic

An album of swinging seasonal delights from pianist, organist and vocalist Eric Reed. On Merry Magic, numbers like The Christmas Song and Little Drummer Boy are given classy jazz makeovers by a top class band, also featuring the vocals of Erin Bode and Paula West. Largely self-taught, Eric Reed's career has blossomed following his early work with Wynton Marsalis, Freddie Hubbard and Joe Henderson. 2003 has been a prolific year for him with another album, E-Bop released by his quintet in the summer. Merry Magic is the seasonal icing on the cake and is the perfect gift for any discerning jazz fan.
