Blending lyricism with harmonic sophistication, he crafts music that is both adventurous and accessible. His artistry has been praised by All About Jazz as "masterly without being showy," and Textura has lauded his compositions for making an "immediate impression" and "warranting repeat engagement." Based between Chicago and Minneapolis, Reichert is an in-demand performer who has collaborated with artists such as Russ Johnson, Geof Bradfield, Lenard Simpson, Clark Sommers, Ethan Philion, John Christensen, Devin Drobka, Ana Everling, and Alyssa Allgood. He has performed at venues and festivals across the U.S. and Europe, bringing his music to audiences in both intimate and large-scale settings. In 2022, he was selected as a Luminarts Jazz Improvisation Fellow, supporting his ongoing work in the Chicago music community. As a recording artist, Reichert has released three albums. His latest, Switch (2024, Calligram Records), showcases diverse moods and textures over its nine tracks, while his previous albums, Deep Breath (2023, Shifting Paradigm Records) and Interpretations (2015), have cemented his reputation as a forward-thinking guitarist and composer.
