The Rufus Reid Trio - OUT FRONT
In presenting Rufus Reid with the 2005 Mellon Jazz Living Legacy Award, the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation saluted him as an American treasure with the vision to make a difference and turn possibilities into results. His life as a consummate musician, educator and author exemplifies this tribute. In more than 300 recordings, he has galvanized this legendary status in his historical contribution to the music of such multi-genre trailblazers as Edie Harris, Dexter Gordon, Thad Jones, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, Joe Henderson, art Farmer, Benny Golson, Kenny Burrell, Nancy Wilson, Jack DeJonette, Bob Mintzer, Kenny Barron and many more. As an educator he has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the 1988 Congressional Achievement Award for outstanding musicianship and contribution to the preservation of Jazz, the 1997 Intl. Assn. of Jazz Educator Humanitarian Award, Downbeat 1998 Jazz Educator Achievement Award, the 1999 NJ Chapter of the IAJE Outstanding Educator, the 2001 International Society of Bassists Distinguished Achievement Award among others. He is also a published author.
