Saxophonist Bob Reynolds’ 2006 release, Can’t Wait For Perfect, was voted “Best Debut” in the Village Voice’s 2006 Jazz Poll, and called “Some of the freshest, most compelling, and most soulful music I have heard recently” by jazz luminary Joshua Redman.

Incorporating funk, rock, and soul touches, without losing the essential swing and driving intensity of jazz, Reynolds’ strength lies in his talent for creating music that is both intricate and accessible, complex yet catchy. His combination of influences as diverse as John Coltrane, James Brown, and Radiohead, yield music that is focused, energetic, and captivating.

A graduate of Berklee College of Music and a four-time winner of ASCAP’s Young Jazz Composer Award, Reynolds has performed and/or recorded with notable jazz artists including Brian Blade, Aaron Goldberg, Gregory Hutchinson, and Tom Harrell, as well as singer-songwriters Jonah Smith and Nellie McKay. Aside from leading his own groups, he tours with Grammy-winning singer-songwriter-guitarist John Mayer.
