| Description: | JOSHUA REDMAN MAKES BLUE NOTE DEBUT WITH FIRSTEVER
VOCAL ALBUM "WHERE ARE WE"
One of his most compelling albums to date, where are we is a musical journey
across the United States of America that also marks Redman??s first-ever vocal
album with the dynamic young singer Gabrielle Cavassa featured throughout
along with a brilliant band comprised of pianist Aaron Parks, bassist Joe
Sanders, and drummer Brian Blade.
Redman notes that ??the surface concept of where are we is rather simple: each
of the songs on the album is about, or at least makes reference to, a specific
geographical location (city or state or region) in the United States: Bruce
Springsteen??s ??Streets of Philadelphia,?? Count Basie??s ??Going To Chicago,?? Rodgers
& Hart??s ??Manhattan,?? John Coltrane??s ??Alabama,?? etc? So, on one level, this is
an album ??about?? America ?? at once a celebration and a critique. But it is also,
to varying degrees, a ballads album, a standards album, an album of romantic
longing, an album of social reflection, an album of melodic invention, an album of
improvisational adventure, an album of mashups, perhaps even a tribute album
of sorts.?
For added perspective, Redman invited four other friends to contribute to the
portraits of their native cities: guitarists Kurt Rosenwinkel (??Streets of
Philadelphia?) and Peter Bernstein (??Manhattan?), trumpeter Nicholas
Payton (??Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans??), and
Ross (??Chicago Blues?). - Made In Japan - Stereo |
