Joshua Redman – Words Fall Short (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Joshua Redman came up through the early 1990s wave of Young Lions alongside Brad Mehldau and Christian McBride, but where many of his peers settled into defined lanes, he has kept moving, from acoustic post-bop to electric funk to chamber-jazz hybrids. Blue Note has given him a home that suits his restless intelligence, and this quartet, road-tested and genuinely cohesive, carries that tradition forward with the kind of chemistry that only develops night after night on the bandstand.
Vinyl LP pressing. Joshua Redman's second Blue Note album, Words Fall Short, is a collection of original compositions that serves as the introduction of his new quartet, featuring pianist Paul Cornish, bassist Philip Norris and drummer Nazir Ebo, which formed as a working band for the world tour behind the saxophonist's label debut - where are we. As the quartet performed steadily on the road, Redman felt a vibe developing and was inspired to bring them into the studio to record a set of music he had composed during the pandemic that embraced the shifting moods of wistfulness, sadness and resolve. The album also features special guest appearances by saxophonist Melissa Aldana, trumpeter Skylar Tang and vocalist Gabrielle Cavassa.
