Nat Reeves is a highly respected bassist, educator, and bandleader known for his substantial contributions to both the performance and educational aspects of jazz music. His career spans decades and reflects a deep commitment to the jazz tradition, while also embracing the evolution of the genre. He has had the honor of performing alongside many iconic jazz musicians, including Jackie McLean, Pharoah Sanders and Kenny Garrett, as well as leading his own ensembles. His collaborations have placed him at the forefront of modern jazz bass playing, where his rhythmic precision, harmonic understanding, and dynamic sound have made him a sought-after sideman, as well as an accomplished band leader.

Now In Time captures a powerful performance from veteran bassist Nat Reeves. Recorded with an all-star ensemble personally selected by Reeves, the album stands as both a celebration of his 70th birthday and a reflection on a distinguished career spanning more than five decades. Joined by Eddie Henderson, Steve Davis, Eric Alexander, Orrin Evans, and Jeff "Tain" Watts, Reeves leads a group whose collective experience and chemistry bring depth, energy and nuance to every performance.
