Joshua Redman Freedom in the Groove 1996





The title Freedom in the Groove expresses the challenge saxophonist Joshua Redman has set for himself: is it possible to practice true jazz improvisation within the soul, funk, and hip-hop rhythms of the past 30 years? Redman takes a different approach than most fusion experiments; instead of plugging in, he has retained his acoustic pianist Peter Martin and his acoustic bassist Christopher Thomas, and has added only electric guitarist Peter Bernstein, who plays more in the hollow-body style of Kenny Burrell than the solid-body style of Mike Stern. Redman responds to this stimulus with sax solos that more than ever resemble gospel-soul singer vocals--at once boldly assertive, yet confessionally open.

The opening track, "Hide & Seek" starts with a slick intro in which Redman does some slap tonging and some altissimo hits, then slides into a nice funky groove.

What a rhythm section -- Brian Blade on drums (probably one of the greatest living drummers nowadays), Peter Martin on keys (It's not Brad Melhdau (sp?), but this cat can swing), Peter Bernstein on guitar, and Christopher Thomas on bass.
