Reed Mathis on Jacob Fred, Improvising and Authentic Self, and Reimagining Beethoven

Join us for an in-depth conversation with bassist, composer, and musical explorer *Reed Mathis**, whose resume reads like a roadmap through the avant-jam universe. From **Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey* to *Tea Leaf Green**, from **7 Walkers* with Bill Kreutzmann to **Electric Beethoven**, Mathis has continually pushed the boundaries of improvisation, composition, and collaboration. We talk about:

• Balancing the freedom of JFJO with the structure of Tea Leaf Green
• Playing Carnegie Hall with Marco Benevento
• Reinterpreting Beethoven with a full improvisational band
• Stories from the road with the Rhythm Devils, Mickey Hart Band, and Billy & The Kids
• His evolution as a solo artist, writer, and bandleader

Whether you're a jazz head, a Deadhead, or just into genre-blurring musicianship, this one goes deep.
