Legendary jazz icon Miles Davis described Steve Reid as "One of the most imaginative percussionists of the decade". For more than a decade, Steve Reid has appeared on 700 recordings, produced several gold records worldwide and performed with virtually every top marquee jazz star imaginable. Steve's musical signature does not reverberate in the ear so much as it resonates with the soul, perhaps because it is composed of the most fundamental element of human existence, the spirit within. The contemporary-jazz soundscapes on Passion in Paradise are, without exceptiom, exciting in their scope, enchanting in their nature and utterly exquisite in their execution.
Steve I don't know if you still remember me but we both played with a band (at different times) called "Field Day" many, many years ago. Glad to see you are doing well and still making incredible music as usual. P.S. I still have the waterphone you sold me!
