The Queen of Hang: Sheila E. Anderson

Eric Reed

For those of you in the LA area you may want to attend the program listed below performed by pianist, Eric Reed. The first two weeks in June Eric performed at Dizzy's Club Coca Cola. Week one featured the music of West Coast Musicians and he brought in saxophonist, Jeff Clayton. The second, was "Tenor Madness" with Seamus Blake and Stacy Dillard leading the front line. His June 12 performance (also, my birthday) was reviewed by Ben Ratliff for The New York Times.
