 | | This week, the 62-year-old Reid was enthralling a full house of his grandchildren's generation at London's Scala. |
 | | The concert was a tribute to Reid's technique and stamina (he kept up a flat-out, seamless barrage of free-jazz, funk and hip-hop beats for over an hour on Thursday), and his openness. |
 | | Reid, whose son Jamal plays drums for 50 Cent, hears much contemporary dance music as an offspring of jazz, and his partnership with London producer and electronica-improviser Kieran Hebden packed them in so tight for the late set at the Scala that lifting a drink was almost a health and safety issue. |
