“While every work of art – in this case, of course, every recording – is meant to be an often tantalizing revelation about character and personality, it is often the first “reveal” that will determine what the future will mean. Proverbially speaking, first impressions always last. In the case of Jeff Reed, it looks a lot like what we are hearing from this bassist will also be the first of many good things to come.”
