Jazz Stocking Stuffer: Greg Reitan's Antibes
The second recording effort by a trio led by a young player in his mid-thirties who, with a readily identifiable personal approach, seems to have full command of his instrument, a warm sound and a fluent touch...
Veteran jazz producer Orrin Keepnews writes, “I have been paying attention to Greg Reitan for several years now, finding him to be a pianist and composer who is already quite impressive and who seems to have a great deal of rapidly developing potential.” Having produced the likes of Bill Evans and Thelonious Monk, Keepnews knows the goods when he hears them. Greg, who graduated from USC in ’95, has built a reputation as a composer for movies and television. On this marvelous collection of mostly original compositions he brings a strongly original voice to the history established by such masters as Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea.
