{"product_id":"4988031778531","title":"Joshua Redman Words Fall Short (SHM-CD) Japan Music CD","description":"Product Description\nContents [SHM-CD] This is the first new album in approximately two years. It features eight tracks with the current regular quartet consisting of Paul Cornish (p), Philip Norris (b), and Nazir Ebo (ds). As the artist himself says, inspiration for the new album came to him while touring extensively with this group, and he even used sound check time to develop ideas. As a result, all the tracks are newly written songs, making for a truly fulfilling album. Three of the tracks feature guest appearances from Melissa Aldana (ts), Skylar Tang (tp), and Gabriel Cavassa (vo), who also made a significant contribution to the previous album, \"Where Are We.\" The theme of this album is the beauty of human imperfection, and it is striking to see a more lyrical expression in the songs and phrasing than ever before. He revealed that the idea for the song itself came about during the pandemic, and he spoke about the origins of the album: \"During a soundcheck, I thought I'd try playing a certain song. It sounded good, so I told the members, 'Let's try it again.' We played about three songs in about 10 minutes, and I realized, 'The album is ready.' My approach to leading a band hasn't changed at all. I'm playing with the best musicians. They've not only mastered the entire jazz vocabulary, but they're also excellent listeners and collaborators. In other words, they all know how to express their individual talents through group improvisation and collective interaction.\" Regarding the album's content, he commented, \"We are facing the big question of what the future holds. A mathematical approach to language even forces us to consider what it means to be 'intellectual,' 'productive,' and 'creative.' I'm a humanist at heart, and I believe in the shadows of language, things that technology cannot capture.\" \u003cpersonnel\u003e Joshua Redman (ts, ss), Melissa Aldana (ts on #2), Skylar Tan (tp on #5), Gabriel Cavassa (vo on #8), Paul Cornish (p), Philip Norris (b), Nazir Evo (ds) Produced by Joshua Redman Recorded November 30 - December 2, 2024 at Octaven Audio, New York Media Reviews and More The second Blue Note album from one of the greatest saxophonists of our time is a fulfilling work of all-new compositions, crafted with his young regular quartet!
