The fusion/jazz group REVERIE was co-founded by keyboardist / principal composer Mark Knox and drummer Jim Miller in their Midwestern U.S. hometown of Indianapolis in the mid-seventies. Upon relocating to the East Coast, they encountered saxophonist E.J. Yellen (b. Brooklyn, NY) and bassist Gerald Veasley (b. Philadelphia, PA); shortly thereafter (1979) they recorded their first “demo” in New York City.
