Bassist and composer Rufus Reid has been in Iowa City for a residency surrounding his performance of “Quiet Pride: The Elizabeth Catlett Project.” Catlett, the first African-American woman to receive an MFA, did so at the University of Iowa.
Reid talked to Ron Adkins about the origins of the composition, and also his years as a jazz educator, which included meeting jazz titans of today like Matt Wilson and John Pattitucci as teenagers.
