About Richard Reiter Afro-Jazz Project
Originally called Crossing Point, but now called The Richard Reiter
Afro-Jazz Project, Richard Reiter's contemporary jazz group has dazzled
critics since 1985. His recordings ("Listener Friendly" - 1985, "Point of No
Return" - 1988, "The Time Has Come" - 1991, "I Hear Africa" - 2002) feature
Reiter's compositions and have received airplay on hundreds of radio
stations nationwide. "I Hear Africa" features the exciting sounds of
African percussion, and Reiter based a number of his new songs on Afro-Pop
music. Reiter possesses a special gift for melody, and in 1979 he received
an EMMY Award for his score to "Generation on the Wind," an Academy Award
nominated documentary feature film. Reiter received international attention
when the USIA featured his band in three TV shows it broadcast worldwide as
part of its series "Arts America."
Performing saxophones, clarinets and flutes, Reiter has appeared as guest jazz soloist with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, on-stage soloist in Bob Fosse's Broadway musical "Dancin'," and backup for such artists as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Nancy Wilson, Johnny Mathis, Temptations and Supremes. He has composed over seventy scores for films, TV shows, commercials, dance companies and theaters.
In recognition of his talent, and with a support letter from legendary jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins, Reiter has been awarded three composition/performance grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. Reiter is listed in the Marquis "Who's Who in Entertainment."
In 1999, Reiter traveled to Dakar, Senegal (West Africa) to perform with many Afro-Pop bands and study African drumming. It was an instant love affair. The musicians loved performing with him and Reiter loved their evocative music. Newspapers wrote articles about him and Senegal's national radio station "Dakar FM" played his CDs. Reiter has infused his new music with these magical sounds and African percussion is now a vital part of a performance by The Richard Reiter Afro-Jazz Project.
