Josh is one of my favorite saxophonists, and he's got a new album out. Looks like Dewey Redman and Joe Lovano are both on this one. It's trios, no piano. I listened to the clips on the website, and I am getting it on iTunes now. It's called "Back East." Anyone have it yet?

I've been really excited about this CD since I first heard about it. I need to go get this, NOW.

 

[bjornblomberg]

Yes! Got it from iTunes. Great stuff. Redman is a great player, I really like his tone on that tenor. What a mix of technique and musicality, it is impressive, for instance, the way he plays melodically and fully controlled in the altissimo register

I thought Dewey Redman had died ?????

I thought Dewey Redman had died ?????

He did, but it was just last year, so the tunes were probably not released. Unless...

 

[Dave Collins]

Yeah. Fitting that his last recording was with his son. The album is amazing by the way. GO GET THIS ONE!

I think the album 'Elastic' is a revolutionary CD.

 

[JimD]

I only stumbled across this by accident in iTunes, mine's on its way.

 

[gelliot2]

Okay, I took the bait and downloaded it too. Great album.

 

[Nefertiti]

I downloaded it last night from itunes. It's a great album. Much more to my liking than the elastic stage he went through. I really like the recording quality on it.

 

[Bikedog]

Is this the BACK EAST cd?
One with all the tunes referring to Sonny Rollins? Many from Out West.

 

[gelliot2]

Correct, that's the one.

I've gotta agree with everyone here - This album is sublime. My favorite cut on it is probably Zarafah, but the way he plays the head on Surrey With the Fringe on Top is awesome. Highly recommended!
