Autumn Leaves is Ben Stern (piano) and Liz Reed (vocals). Take a trip back in time with oldies like "Bye, Bye, Blackbird," and "Blue Moon," standards such as "My Foolish Heart," and (of course) "Autumn Leaves" and a few soul and pop tunes like "Midnight Train to Georgia" or "New York State of Mind."
Liz Reed, vocals
Liz's roots are in folk and Americana, producing five albums of original songs in the folk genre. Liz developed a love for jazz standards after her short career as an opera diva at UConn, and after meeting her husband, Tom, who introduced her to the likes of Coltrane, Davis, Nat King Cole, Fitzgerald and Holiday.
Ben Stern, piano
Ben’s father, Howard, is a big jazz fan. From a very young age, Howard introduced Ben to the greats such as Hoagie Carmichael, The Jazz Messengers and Bill Evans. Ben was drawn to this music from the start. As a music major at Skidmore College, Ben focused on jazz piano performance. He now enjoys playing various jazz genres across the decades.
