Joshua Redman

· 4 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE

Joshua Redman’s excellent new album marks a homecoming of sorts. The tenor saxophonist is joined by Aaron Goldberg on piano, Reuben Rogers on bass, and Gregory Hutchinson on drums—an immaculate rhythm section Redman last played with on his 2001 release, Passage of Time. The band first recorded together on Beyond, the year before. Nearly 20 years have gone by since then, though their rapport is none the worse for it. If anything, the quartet now sounds wiser and more self-assured.
