Joshua Redman, saxophone; Gabrielle Cavassa, vocals; Paul Cornish, piano; Philip Norris, bass; Nazir Ebo, drums
Joshua Redman is one of the most acclaimed and charismatic jazz artists on the scene today. Following DACAMERA appearances with his Still Dreaming Quartet and 3×3 Trio, Redman returns with his latest project, a quintet featuring vocalist Gabrielle Cavassa. Where Are We is about America, Redman says; “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 (stylistic and titular), perhaps even a tribute album of sorts.”
“a truly far-reaching program of songs about places and the people in them… terrific mashups…Cavassa is a star in the making. Joshua Redman has delivered his finest recording to date. And that’s saying something.”
