About this album

46th And 8th is a polished late-1970s statement from trumpeter Waymon Reed, balancing cool jazz elegance with post-bop energy. Released in 1979, the album shows Reed moving comfortably between disciplined swing and more modern harmonic language, with a repertoire that includes standards and hard-bop staples such as Don’t Get Around Much Anymore, Au Privave and Blue Monk. The title piece and the surrounding performances underline his fluid tone, melodic assurance and understated improvising style. It is a compact, confident album that reflects the lasting appeal of small-group jazz rooted in tradition but alert to modern expression.
