Down Beat (11/93, p.37) - 4.5 Stars - Very Good/Excellent - "...The smoky, full-bodied tone of Joshua Redman's tenor saxophone goes straight to the soul, but credit his passionate and eloquent playing for making this, his sophomore effort, an unequivocal success...." Vibe (11/93, p.112) - "...WISH [is] a healthy mix of bebop and blues with doses of Afro-Latin and pop....Redman is not afraid to continue the jazz tradition of interpreting contemporary pop tunes..."

| | Brad Mehldau Art Of The Trio Vol. 2: Live At The Village Vanguard CD (1998)
Wish
$14.75 The joy one feels when hearing the pealing of bells is something that Brad Mehldau brings to his interpretation of jazz standards on THE ART OF THE TRIO, VOL. 2. The forms of these tunes yield to the pianist's pan-diatonic intervallic ideas and bending of phrase lengths, springing back occasionally as the trio revisits the original melody, if only to gather energy for another leap away. Drummer Jorge Rossy adds an angular, Paul Motian-like rhythmic framework. On "The Way You Look Tonight," the trio constantly switches in and out of double time, sounding as ...
| | Brad Mehldau Art Of The Trio Vol. 3: Songs CD (1998)
Wish
$14.99 Mehldau is a strikingly original young jazz pianist, an innovator in a world too often bound by tradition. Combining classically influenced harmonic sensibilities with a sensitive, panoramic approach that owes to both Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett, Mehldau burst onto the '90s jazz scene, taking the world by storm. SONGS is the third volume in a series of trio works that find Mehldau deftly accompanied by the stalwart rhythm section of drummer Jorge Rossy and bassist Larry Grenadier. As usual, Mehldau's explorations of the trio format are unique and unparalleled, combining bravado with a cerebral, almost meditative quality. Instead ...
| | Lee Morgan Procrastinator CD (1967) Limited Edition
Wish
$10.69 This is part of Blue Note's Limited Edition Connoisseur series.
The fact that THE PROCRASTINATOR is a shade more atmospheric than other Morgan recordings from this period can be attributed to several factors. For one, the presence of Bobby Hutcherson on vibes gives Morgan new colors to work with as a composer, which he does to great effect on the title cut. The title cut features an elegiac opening statement reminiscent of the Modern Jazz Quartet; the tune ultimately yields to a sort of long-form variation on the blues. Another factor is the continued involvement of Wayne Shorter as a composer on Morgan's dates. Shorter's two contributions, the ballad "Dear Sir" and the bossa "Rio" share a questioning, ambiguous quality that draws the trumpeter into a more introspective zone.
Elsewhere, however, Morgan is still his confident and exuberant self. "Party Time," while less self-consciously "funky" than other tunes of the era, is nevertheless the kind of simmering, get-down minor blues that epitomized the "Blue Note Sound." The elegant, swinging "Soft Touch" is also in a minor key--the pensive head gives way to a series of searching ...
| | Pat Metheny Metheny Mehldau Quartet CD (2007)
Wish
$15.65 Following up on the meeting of the progressive-jazz minds that took place on Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau's mostly-duets album METHENY/MEHLDAU, the forward-looking pair expand their partnership to include a rhythm section on most of the songs. In this format, Metheny and Mehldau bring out the best in each other; simultaneously providing a framework for gorgeously melodic lines and egging one another on to the outskirts of improvisation.
Though the guitarist and pianist are of different generations, it's this combination of beauty and bravery that gives them their common ...
| | Mccoy Tyner Song Of The New World CD (1973)
Wish
$9.89 Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1991, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
In 1973, jazz was branching out; the Mahavishnu Orchestra recorded "Between Nothingness and Eternity," Chick Corea made "Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy," and McCoy Tyner teamed up with producer Orrin Keepnews for "Song of the New World." There's plenty of great music here, plus a vintage '70s vibe, on Tyner's first foray into orchestral jazz.
Mongo Santamaria's "Afro Blue" begins with an exotic intro of flute, conga, thumb piano, and bells, and the full band entrance is strong and majestic. After a duet of dueling flutes Tyner plays a whirlwind solo over Alphonse Mouzon's storm-like drumming. The band chimes in occasionally, but Tyner sails over it all. "Some Day" is a relief from what has come before. Tyner's melodies can be refreshingly simple and direct, and here he channels a bit of Richard Rodgers' charm, in a tune unusually structured around Jooney Booth's ...
