Jamie Reynolds
February 15, 2013Back from Canada

Hi everyone - the Jamie Reynolds Trio is back in New York after a great 10-day tour of Canada. We had a fantastic time playing for great audiences all across the country. Thanks to everyone we met along the way! Now it's back to working on new music. Stay tuned for our upcoming gigs in New York.

July 31, 2012Jamie Reynolds Trio - "Time with People" on Fresh Sound New Talent

My debut record, "Time with People", is now up and available on iTunes and Amazon!

A gifted pianist and accomplished composer with an abundance of startlingly original ideas, Toronto native and current New York City resident Jamie Reynolds makes a potent statement on Time With People, his debut as a leader for the Fresh Sound New Talent label. Joining him on this impressive trio date are bassist Gary Wang and rising star drummer Eric Doob. Together they exhibit an indelible tightness and uncommon delicacy on a collection of Reynolds’ intriguing compositions ranging from the darkly insinuating “Miel Coeur” and the evocative “Morning Sun” to more dynamic offerings like the driving “Cold Spring” and the intricate, densely harmonic title track. Along the way, Reynolds reveals traces of his piano mentors Fred Hersch and Craig Taborn, both of whom he studied with privately in New York, as well as key influences like Keith Jarrett and Lennie Tristano. But the depth of his compositional vision remains uniquely his own on this auspicious first outing.

Jamie Reynolds is a Canadian pianist, keyboardist and composer who has lived in New York City since 2005. He graduated with honours from the University of Toronto in 2004, where he studied with David Braid, Mike Murley, Phil Nimmons, and many others. Jamie moved to New York in 2005, when he was awarded a Canada Council grant to study privately with Fred Hersch, and he received a second grant in 2007 for private study with Craig Taborn. Jamie has played with some of the top musicians in New York, including Billy Hart, Cameron Brown, Rodney Green, Rob Scheps, Greg Gisbert, Jamie Baum, Joel Frahm, Branford Marsalis, Ike Sturm, and worked with producer Jason Olaine. He has played at nearly all of New YorkԳ top jazz clubs and has toured extensively in Canada, the U.S., and Europe, including a performance at the Newport Jazz Festival. Jamie made his debut album, an acoustic piano trio recording of original music, in the spring of 2011, and it will be released in 2012. He is also collaborating with producer Emilio Reyes Leblanc on an electric project combining original music, improvisation, and experimental studio effects.

"This acoustic-minded trio nails technique and methodology. Such is the intense degree of focus and concentration, one guesses Reynolds may have recorded the entire album with his eyes closed…His brief improvisational pieces and the three-part "Locks" indicate an ability to lead from the heart rather than the head."
