    In his 82 years, Ed Reed has gained great insight into the joys and especially the sorrows of the human condition. The San Francisco Bay Area-based jazz vocalist, who made his recording debut just four years ago, has imparted his findings with consummate musical subtlety, emotion-searing depth of feeling, and the nuanced delivery of a master storyteller on his critically-acclaimed CDs, Ed Reed Sings Love Stories and The Song Is You. Those two recordings were collections of terrific tunes from the Broadway, Tin Pan Alley, and jazz traditions drawn from Reed's near-encyclopedic knowledge of the Great American Songbook. Likewise are the 13 selections on his third release, Born to Be Blue (just issued on his Blue Shorts Records label, as were the previous two), yet they are more thematically focused on the poignant life lessons we all experience as human beings.

    Since the release of his debut disc, he has appeared at a number of the world's most prominent jazz venues, including Yoshi's in both Oakland and San Francisco, the Brasserie Jazz Lounge in Los Angeles, Dimitriou's Jazz Alley in Seattle, the Jazz Standard in New York City, Scullers Jazz Club in Boston, and Marians Jazzroom in Bern, Switzerland. Coming to terms with the pain and sadness in life has been a key to Reed's recovery and one that he imparts to others, both in his health lectures and now in the songs on Born to Be Blue.
