Produced by Reid and Chris Dunn, Escaping Shadows spotlights Reid and his band as embarking on a passionate, largely upbeat and lyrical journey. The album includes pieces that were written around the time of his debut album Findings, which the saxophonist cites as a highly creative period for him. “Half the songs on Escaping Shadows were written before the first record came out,” he says. “For example, I had hopes that the tune ‘Escaping Shadows’ would make it on to Findings, but there wasn’t enough time in the studio to record it. It turned out for the best because I restructured it, building in new elements and making it stronger.”
Reid recorded Escaping Shadows with his own group to build upon the rapport the members developed while working on the road together for the past two years. “We are a family. We’ve developed a way to work on my compositions and grooves.” Members of the group include guitarist Richard Padrón, wordless vocalist Jeff Taylor and percussionist Ryan Fitch, all of whom also played on Reid’s debut album. In addition, Reid recruited pianist Pablo Vergara, bassist Daniel Loomis and drummer Kenny Grohowski.
