Few cities have a jazz legacy as deep and influential as Pittsburgh—a place that shaped the sounds of Art Blakey, Billy Strayhorn, Mary Lou Williams, Ahmad Jamal, and countless others. Trombonist Reggie Watkins has been a part of that lineage for over two decades, collaborating with jazz giants like Orrin Evans, Roger Humphries, and Maynard Ferguson.

But Rivers isn’t just about paying homage—it’s about moving jazz forward from within the city’s beating heart. Recorded in Pittsburgh with a tight, intergenerational quartet, the album represents a musician’s journey through time, place, and experience. The compositions reflect Reggie’s deep roots in the Steel City, his time spent honing his craft during the pandemic, and his commitment to keeping jazz alive in the place that raised him.

From the fire of "Blues in 3-D" (a tribute to modern trombone greats) to the spiritual depth of "Dream Walker" (dedicated to Reggie’s father) to the title track "Rivers" (inspired by Sam Rivers and dedicated to his mother), the album captures the undercurrents of jazz—tradition, influence, and artistic evolution.

As a working-class jazz musician, Reggie embodies what makes Bandcamp’s artist-first philosophy so essential. This isn’t music made for industry trends—it’s honest, unfiltered jazz that connects deeply with both the past and the present. credits releases March 28, 2025
