Saxophonist's 2nd Blue Note Album on 180g Vinyl LP!
With Special Guests Melissa Aldana, Skylar Tang & Gabrielle Cavassa!
TAS Rated 4.5/5 Music, 4/5 Sonics in the Fall 2025 Issue of The Absolute Sound!
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.
Redman and his young charges have staked out some fresh new territory on this composerly vehicle.
