Steve Reid Ensemble

Spirit Walk Steve Reid Ensemble

After a number of groundbreaking live shows featuring Kieran Hebden (Fourtet) and legendary New York drummer Steve Reid, these two artists have embarked on an amazing recording project with the Steve Reid Ensemble (featuring Kieran Hebden), Spirit Walk. This album blends electronic experimentation within the frame-work of Steve Reid’s musical heritage. This project is a continuation of a musical path that stretches back to the late 1960s. A self-taught master jazz drummer Steve Reid played in Sun Ra’s Arkestra as well as being a session musician at both Motown Records (he plays on Martha and The Vandella’s 'Heatwave') and in James Brown’s in-house band at the legendary Harlem Apollo. Features 9 total tracks. Soul Jazz. 2005.
