The Reese Project
TRP plays lively jazz, blues, funk & classical music. Mesmerising to watch, this unique quartet combines flute, cello, guitar & drums. Gorgeous compositions weave elements from around the world into up-tempo, high energy jazz and haunting sounds that flow from calypso to waltz feels. This very polished jazz quartet has evolved to become one of the most unique quartets in the world. Recently signed to “In the Groove Records,” TRP's new CD, “This Just In,” is available through Allegro Corporation.
The Reese Project (TRP), a compelling, mesmerizing quartet of masterful musicians, performs real jazz, including standards & their own originals. They have created a new jazz sound: “East Coast Cool.” They're appealing to see & hear (listen for Tom's trademark “Yeah!”) and have played to sold out venues & multiple standing ovations. The unique instrumentation of the group & their “outside of the box” approach has critics raving with their fresh approach to traditional jazz. A “must see,” The Reese Project will leave you wanting more & more “East Coast Cool.”
Tom Reese (flute), writes most of the band's material. In performance, his highly-charged, soaring flute lines carve new sounds out of traditional forms. Laurie Haines Reese (cello), adds a unique flavor to the band with the electric cello. Her shredding sound and acoustic bass lines compliment the creative edge in the original works as well as the standards
