The quartet formed as a working band for the world tour behind Redman’s 2023 label debut where are we, performing steadily on the road and developing a vibe that inspired the saxophonist to bring them into the studio to record a set of music he had composed during the pandemic. Cornish, Norris, and Ebo impress on each of the album’s eight originals, which embrace the shifting moods of wistfulness, sadness, and resolve. While the musicians have moments to emerge and take the spotlight, they also provide a distinctive ensemble personality, one in which spontaneity and sensitivity keep the music fluid yet coherent. They are a rhythm section with character, one in sync with the priorities of their leader. “My approach to bandleading is unchanged,” Redman says. “Play with the best musicians I can find, virtuosos who have mastered all the different jazz vocabularies, but who are also great listeners and collaborators — who know how to express their individual brilliance through group improvisation and collective interaction.”
