Originally from Minneapolis, Reid Anderson emerged as one of the most promising bassists and composers on the New York jazz scene. He studied classical music at Philadelphia's Curtis Institute of Music, graduating in 1993. Upon arriving in New York in 1994, he began working with like-minded young players such as Mark Turner, Jorge Rossy, Ethan Iverson, Kurt Rosenwinkel, and Bill McHenry. Anderson has released a number of albums on the Fresh Sound/New Talent label, and he co-leads the acclaimed trio The Bad Plus with drummer David King and new member Orrin Evans. In addition, Anderson also fronts his own rock band, the Sun, for which he sings and plays guitar.
