“Sentimental
Mood” is a collection of Kate Reid’s favorite jazz standards and tunes. She
explores the art of phrasing and improvisation while winding her way through
the beautiful accompaniment of her trio. Kate sets herself apart from other
vocalist/pianists with the use of her wide vocal range and instrumental
approach to improvisation with lyrics and syllables. Saxophonist Ernie Watts
and guitarist Ron Eschete are featured on this album along with Kate’s regular
trio instrumentalists Steve Barnes (drums) and Chris Conner (bass). Her
husband, trumpet player Steve Reid, is also featured on two tracks.
