★★★★
Words Fall Short
BLUE NOTE. CD/DL/LP
Now in his fourth decade as an artist, Redman defies complacency on Words Fall Short, a platform for the intuitive shadow-play of his new quartet with Paul Cornish, Philip Norris and Nazir Ebo. It’s when he cedes space to outside voices – fellow saxophonist Melissa Aldana (So It Goes), trumpeter Skylar Tang (Icarus), singer Gabrielle Cavassa (Era’s End) – that his softly-spoken, succinct storytelling really shines.
"Words Fall Short" Review from Record Collector
Titan JOSHUA REDMAN showcases his new quartet with Words Fall Short (⭐⭐⭐⭐ Blue Note). Consisting of pianist Paul Cornish, bassist Philip Norris, and drummer Nazir Ebo, the quartet premieres music Redman wrote during the pandemic. By turns meditative and vibrantly athletic, the album’s eight tracks are consistently engaging. Appearances by singer Gabrielle Cavassa, saxophonist Melissa Aldana, and trumpeter Skylar Tang add extra tonal colour.
