The Julian Reid Quartet seeks to sit at various intersections: the intersection of jazz, soul, and R&B; the intersection of comfort and challenge; the intersection of familiar and unfamiliar. They hope that the variety gives people from different communities something to chew on musically as well as lyrically – the selections with lyrics are intentionally chosen in order to pay homage to past struggles of various people, groups, or current issues that affect those in the here and now.
Julian Reid (Piano), Tina Colón (Vocals), Hans Bilger (Upright and Electric Bass), Ethan Schneider (Drums)
