O’s Notes: Ed Reed is a veteran jazz and blues singer who can tell a story better than most. He imparts enough passion to lead us to believe he was speaking from personal experience. Reed has rounded tones and impeccable presence that soothes the soul. There are 14 timeless classics, all in a tribute to the Nat King Cole Trio. Guitarist Jamie Fox and saxophonist Anton Schwartz make strong statements along with a seasoned quintet helping Ed produce another top shelf session!
