Eric began playing piano at age two, was playing piano in his minister father’s church by age five, and at age seven began formal study at Philadelphia’s Settlement Music School. At age 11 his family moved to Los Angeles, and he studied at the R. D. Colburn School of Arts. In May 1986 at Colburn School Eric met Wynton Marsalis, an encounter that would greatly aid his career. At age 18 during a year of college at California State University, Northridge, Eric briefly toured with Marsalis. He joined Marsalis’ septet a year later, and worked with him from 1990–1991 (from 1991–1992 he worked with Joe Henderson and Freddie Hubbard), and again from 1992–1995. He later worked with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra for two years (1996–1998), and ventured out as a leader of his own group in 1999.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Eric+Reed","playStationPath":"/stations/271025774/play","stationId":271025774,"bioPath":"/music/Eric+Reed/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Keith+Jarrett","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/7b4/7b457c48afec6dacfe09344db029c64e_md.jpg","artistName":"Keith Jarrett","artistId":2642,"station_id":113372936},{"musicPath":"/music/Esbjorn+Svensson+Trio","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/963/9630189c318e3a12995975308ee23d2d_md.jpg","artistName":"Esbjörn Svensson Trio","artistId":386,"station_id":113901931},{"musicPath":"/music/Marian+McPartland","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/7a3/7a32173d2a5f07eda1e6b62a38c5cc8a_md.jpg","artistName":"Marian McPartland","artistId":78712,"station_id":267220221},{"musicPath":"/music/Sonny+Clark","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/56a/56a981383c0da80049b4d3d93fea4d29_md.jpg","artistName":"Sonny Clark","artistId":101367,"station_id":280763698},{"musicPath":"/music/Jon+Batiste","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/0c6/0c65079cb003185f824eca3a1009d159_md.jpg","artistName":"Jon Batiste","artistId":362970,"station_id":394136440},{"musicPath":"/music/Aaron+Parks","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e38/e384cf59d27d115f9cc055e4c3183371_md.jpg","artistName":"Aaron Parks","artistId":12672,"station_id":113499453},{"musicPath":"/music/Oscar+Peterson","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/af5/af5b5fb0edb78896eb9be0aaa1fd77bc_md.jpg","artistName":"Oscar Peterson","artistId":6854,"station_id":113299895},{"musicPath":"/music/Orrin+Evans","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/8c4/8c492da145cc7e35d150b2f77c251b7d_md.jpg","artistName":"Orrin Evans","artistId":132412,"station_id":285484189},{"musicPath":"/music/Wynton+Kelly","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/740/7400aedf8ff230c51b7a1dd086d78a2c_md.jpg","artistName":"Wynton Kelly","artistId":78727,"station_id":267556536},{"musicPath":"/music/Emmet+Cohen","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d57/d5775ec9e80bfc4abbf54f95ba6d2a63_md.jpg","artistName":"Emmet Cohen","artistId":456850,"station_id":401264926},{"musicPath":"/music/Brian+Bromberg","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ca7/ca721704e80bd427d5bc0e89588c3c6b_md.jpg","artistName":"Brian Bromberg","artistId":64565,"station_id":263734982},{"musicPath":"/music/Beegie+Adair","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/660/660572bcea38481ecc0d613dac9eac3d_md.jpg","artistName":"Beegie Adair","artistId":78669,"station_id":267164796},{"musicPath":"/music/Paolo+Fresu","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/090/0904c99056be0557be8ae1c0777db848_md.jpg","artistName":"Paolo Fresu","artistId":128972,"station_id":284993949},{"musicPath":"/music/Wynton+Marsalis","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/70b/70b3bb01586d58427e16f8e3bdb33c35_md.jpg","artistName":"Wynton Marsalis","artistId":2370,"station_id":113455220},{"musicPath":"/music/Jason+Moran","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/00b/00b46e059a66bff5071e2952e40ec79d_md.jpg","artistName":"Jason Moran","artistId":57470,"station_id":260535812},{"musicPath":"/music/Bud+Powell","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a64/a64df2021fbeb963353058823447a46c_md.jpg","artistName":"Bud Powell","artistId":14165,"station_id":114524347},{"musicPath":"/music/Eliane+Elias","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/90d/90da7589e17fe0bb5ab7d70f3a10bc8e_md.jpg","artistName":"Eliane Elias","artistId":64575,"station_id":263636011},{"musicPath":"/music/Billy+Childs","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/7ae/7aea8e09611930b890a5ae03599a43bb_md.jpg","artistName":"Billy Childs","artistId":452455,"station_id":401181374}]}
