RUFUS REID QUINTET/Live at the Kennedy Center: One of the top back in the day jazz bassists recently retired from 20 years in education and has decided to kick it out one more time for love. This cd/dvd combo package is certainly done from love on all sides. With a set card of mostly originals, Reid shows what once a first call, stays first call. It’s nice to do the right things with these living legends while they are still alive and this set sets a standard that more should follow. And it’s a great, intense listen for real jazzbos.(Motema)
