Meyhouse Jazz welcomes Janice Maxie Reid, a vocalist and keyboardist known for her remarkable four-octave vocal range and a musical style that moves naturally between jazz, soul, blues, gospel, and R&B.

Over a career spanning decades, she has performed on stages including the Hollywood Bowl, Davies Symphony Hall and Monterey Jazz Festival, and has shared stages with artists including Sting, George Duke, and Narada Michael Walden.
For this Meyhouse appearance, Reid is joined by a veteran Bay Area rhythm section with deep roots in jazz, soul, and R&B. Guitarist Cedricke Dennis and drummer Tommie Bradford were part of the musical circle surrounding Ledisi’s early career, while bassist David Jones has performed with artists including Angela Bofill, Jimmy Witherspoon, and Narada Michael Walden.
