Album

Players:Joshua Redman saxophones, Larry Grenadier bass, Reuben Rogers bass, Brian Blade drums, Gregory Hutchinson drums On Compass, Joshua Redman takes the concept of playing trio in surprising new directions. The title of his third Nonesuch disc evokes navigation, travel, a desire to find ones bearings. Redman confirms, This album was a journey for me, a further. On Compass, Joshua Redman takes the concept of playing trio in surprising new directions. Redman confirms, This album was a journey for me, a further exploration of the trio format. Compass is a studio album by American jazz saxophonist Joshua Redman. It was released on January 13, 2009 via Nonesuch Records label to a critical success, scoring 83 on Metacritic. Michael Kabran of PopMatters stated After Back East, it seemed a certainty that Redman would return to his more traditional jazz and fusion roots, that he had gotten experimentation out of his system. He proved this critic wrong by forging ahead, for the most part successfully, into less-traveled terrain. On the excellent 2009 release, Compass, saxophonist Joshua Redman leads a pair of trios through 13 compositions. The players - drummers Brian Blade and Gregory Hutchinson, and bassists Larry Grenadier and Reuben Rogers - come together in various combinations and formats: trios, double trios, quartet, and quintet. Faraway finds Redmans highly melodic approach backed by the surge and flow of Blade and Granadier. The agitated and forceful Insomnomaniac catches Redman, Hutchinson, and Rogers in formidable form: the band swings hard and works wonders with the stop-start arrangement.

Joshua Redman's 2007 album Back East rightfully drew critical comparisons to Sonny Rollins' legendary trio date Way Out West, given everything from the mirror image implication in the title to the manner in which Redman offered the material on the set. The presence of Rollins looms large over Compass as well. Once more, Redman explores a piano-less trio, though there are some quartet and quintet numbers here. Redman is accompanied by longtime friends and collaborators, including drummers Brian Blade and Gregory Hutchinson, and bassists Larry Grenadier and Reuben Rogers. Writer: Gregory Hutchinson - Joshua Redman - Larry Grenadier - Reuben Rogers. Anyone who has seen saxophonist Redman play live will know what a star he is, but the recording career has been offering diminishing returns for a while now. This unusual double trio setting, using bassists Larry Grenadier and Reuben Rogers, together with drummers Greg Hutchinson and Brian Blade, sometimes all playing together, is at least relatively free and adventurous. Yet the nervy rhythms and lugubrious horn-play offer only one real tune Moonlight Sonata and not much fun. 1 Track listing. 2 Personnel. 3 References. 4 External links. Track listing.
