Reed Mathis on Jacob Fred, Improvising and Authentic Self, and Reimagining Beethoven
Manage episode 479029747 series 3559169
Join us for an in-depth conversation with bassist, composer, and musical explorer *Reed Mathis**, whose resume reads like a roadmap through the avant-jam universe. From **Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey* to *Tea Leaf Green**, from **7 Walkers* with Bill Kreutzmann to **Electric Beethoven**, Mathis has continually pushed the boundaries of improvisation, composition, and collaboration. We talk about:
- Balancing the freedom of JFJO with the structure of Tea Leaf Green
- Playing Carnegie Hall with Marco Benevento
- Reinterpreting Beethoven with a full improvisational band
- Stories from the road with the Rhythm Devils, Mickey Hart Band, and Billy & The Kids
- His evolution as a solo artist, writer, and bandleader
Whether you're a jazz head, a Deadhead, or just into genre-blurring musicianship, this one goes deep.
