about

Composer, accordionist, and pianist Sam Reider announces The Human Hands EP, a video record of original music, filmed and recorded live, directly to tape in Brooklyn, NY.

A jazz pianist by training, Reider has spent the last decade traveling with an accordion strapped to his back, exploring and interpreting folk music from around the world. His 2017 release Too Hot To Sleep established Reider as an “exceptionally gifted bandleader and composer” with a “joyfully complex, polyglot musical strategy” (Songlines Magazine).

In his newest compositions, Reider takes on breakdown fiddling, Brazilian samba, a Celtic jig in 13/8, Venezuelan Joropo, western swing, and Baroque counterpoint, brought to life by a “staggeringly virtuosic” (RnR Magazine) ensemble called the Human Hands: Alex Hargreaves on violin, Eddie Barbash on saxophone, Dominick Leslie on mandolin, Duncan Wickel on cello and violin, Roy Williams on guitar, and Dave Speranza on bass.

In addition to the videos, the Human Hands EP will be available for purchase as hard copy CDs, and will be streaming and downloadable on all online platforms on January 15th. Accompanying scores are available for each composition.
