Tomeka Reid Quartet
Advertisement
Cellist leads one of the strongest permanent quartets in contemporary jazz.
-
Cellist and composer Tomeka Reid is considered one of the most original voices in Chicago's vibrant jazz and improvisation scene. Her melodic sense, always rooted in a strong groove, brought her into ensembles of greats such as Anthony Braxton and Roscoe Mitchell, and of a younger generation of visionaries around Nicole Mitchell and Mike Reed. Since her debut as a band leader in 2015, her quartet has grown into one of the most acclaimed regular bands in contemporary jazz.
Together with Mary Halvorson (guitar), Jason Roebke (bass) and Tomas Fujiwara (drums), Reid presents the new album dance with her regular quartet! Skip! Hop! Out of Your Head Records. The title came about when she noticed that her compositions kept her moving, and that playful elany sounds everywhere. After years of touring together, the quartet sounds more refined than ever, but it also takes the risks that only a fully rehenged band can afford.
