The Steve Edwards Orchestra’s Saxophone Wizard Audley Reid is one of Chicago’s finest Jazz & R&B Musicians. Audley R Reid, often referred to as “Reed”, began his musical odyssey over 25 years ago. Proficient on all saxophones, Reid prefers the Alto Sax and his passionate technique, smooth styling and distinctive sound often draws comparisons to the music of David Sanborn and the sax genius of the late Art Porter, Jr.

Reid’s effortless performances, across a wide range of musical genres including jazz, Smooth Jazz, Pop, Rock, and R&B, have afforded him the opportunity to perform with such stars as Buddy Guy, Ray Parker Jr., Phil Perry, Kim Fields, Nick Colionne, Howard Hewett, Will Downing, Michael Henderson, Vivian Green, and Norman Connors before a multitude of audiences at various galas, venues and events throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, Europe, and his native Country Jamaica.
