"I heard a wonderful song called 'India' on a satellite smooth jazz station. I was amazed at the presentation and the maturity of the saxophonist and decided immediately to purchase the CD from Amazon.com. To my pleasant surprise the entire project For The Family is truly beautiful and speaks to the wonderful musicianship of Jimmy Reid. I loved the project so much that I immediately called and congratulated him on such a wonderful piece. I encourage everyone who loves smooth jazz saxophonists to pick up this work NOW. I believe Jimmy Reid is indeed the future of this genre and feel very blessed to have been introduced to his amazing talent. I was so impressed with the opening track 'India,' I have added the song to the smooth jazz curriculum at Berklee College of Music. His tone, a perfect blend of Kirk Whalum and Gerald Albright, along with the composition aspect of the album, consistent throughout, put Jimmy Reid into a class of his own...."

Layout by CoolChaser /> Born and raised in Chicago, Jim Reid headed west to attend U.S.C.’s prestigious Thornton School of Music not realizing at the time his initial pursuit of jazz performance would later evolve into a passion for what goes on off-stage and behind the scenes. As an accomplished saxophonist for the past 15 years, Mr. Reid has performed and recorded with the likes of Michael Buble, Brian Mcknight, Celine Dion, Jonathan Butler, The Winans, and David Foster, although, his true love is expressed through composing thematic orchestrations, where such influences as John Williams, Mark Isham, Danny Elfman, Marc Shaiman, Hans Zimmer, John Powell, Jeff Rona, James Newton Howard, and Alan Silvestri can be heard...
