Album Notes

To quote the latest CD Review from "All About Jazz", "There is magic in how Reggie Buie brings his piano keys to life, allowing light and shade to emanate from each lively performance." The Reggie Buie Trio began performing as a unit in August 2004 in several local Winston Salem venues. All the members had distinguished themselves while working with many of the Triad's most well known performers. In June of 2005, the Trio started a weekly series called Friday Night Jazz at the Bits and Bytes Coffee Shop in Winston Salem. They began to attract fans, many of whom would come back every week.
By October of 2005, many of the coffee shop patrons were making request to obtain recorded versions of their favorites performed by the Trio, and by January of 2006, the group released its debut CD "The First Time". Their success has been largely due to the group’s versatility and their ability to move effortlessly between playing soft background music, performing jazz standards, music for dancing, or delivering passionate jazz performances and improvisation during live concerts. The Trio members are Reggie Buie-Piano, Nathan Scott-Upright Bass and Mike Fowler-Drums.
