Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Tenor saxophonist Joshua Redman, the son of the magnificent but undervalued Dewey Redman, was touted as one of the young lions of jazz in the 1990s, spearheading a neo-bop revival upon the release of his 1992 debut. The acclaim was quickly followed by charges of hype, but on his second album, Wish, Redman proved worthy of the accolades. This is a surprisingly mature work for such a young player. Redman's soloing is assured, conversant with the blues, and filled with minor surprises. His exchange with guitarist Pat Metheny is superb, and the master rhythm section of Charlie Haden on bass and Billy Higgins on drums affords Redman plenty of rhythmic subtlety to apply his nuanced playing to. --John Swenson

5.0 out of 5 stars Melodic Wonder, May 1, 2000
This CD is so melodic. Joshua's phrasing and development of his solos are always keeping you interested. Not to mention the very melodic originals. Also, Metheny and crew are really backing him up with 100% committment to the music at hand.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Own!!, January 31, 2001
By dr. b. (Lafayette, IN USA) - See all my reviews
For a modern artist with a classic style you will definitely want to check out Joshua Redman. Listen for Pat Metheny. Jazz with an Afro-Latin twist. Extraordinary. It will make you Wish for more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great second album by young redman to add to diskography, October 18, 1999
By A Customer
Excellent second album in Redman's series of six to complete ones library of Joshua Redman. However,for the first time listener,check out "Freedom In The Groove". It has better tunes(most written by Redman), and better performances all the way to the end track.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 'must have'!
This album sparks of creativity and subtle detail. Very dense and atmospheric. There is also some great piano work on it. Unfortunately the player is not mentioned anywhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars a "throw-it-together-to-make-quick-cash-due-to-success-of-first-album" album
Redman's first album was such a great recording. One of the top ten of Jazz recorded in the 90's. But this album was thrown together quickly and it sounds it. Read more

The future of Joshua Redman's music can be summed up as this: Please put out more music as fast as you can! Joshua is silly good! Check out his other recordings also.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wimpy Tenor, at this moment
Great album, a lot of ideas! However, the tone of his tenor is a little weak...

I guess he is still in progress. You will be amazed if you listen his later works. Read more
