Will Sharay Reed pass “The SBL Session Challenge”?
If you’ve ever wondered what the session legends are thinking the first time they’re faced with recording a track they’ve never seen or heard before… this lesson is for you.
I was lucky enough to get Sharay Reed (yep, the man, the myth and the legend!) into the studio for you guys…
We talked about a tonne of stuff, but right at the end of our conversation we thought it’d be fun to put Sharay on the spot.
Here’s what we did…
We gave him a lead sheet to a piece of music he’d never seen before.
We then got him to talk through his thought process when looking at a new piece of music.
And then… we hit record and he performed the entire piece.
Zero run through.
Just red light - GO!
Ready to see what happened next?! ;)

PS. If for any reason you haven’t heard of Sharay Reed… he’s recorded and toured with artists such us Aretha Franklin, Chaka Kahn, Patti Labelle, Yolanda Adams… you get the idea ;)
PPS. This 10 minute lesson you’re about to watch is taken from a 50 minute long interview that’ll be getting released in the next few weeks into the SBL Academy… so if you’re a member, keep a look out!
