{"product_id":"moodswing","title":"MoodSwing","description":"Joshua Redman Quartet: Joshua Redman (tenor \u0026amp; soprano saxophone); Brad Mehldau (piano); Christian McBride (acoustic bass); Brian Blade (drums).\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at Power Station, New York on March 8-10, 1994. Includes liner notes by Joshua Redman.\u003cbr\u003eMOODSWING has been reissued by Nonesuch in a package including both CD and a double-LP, 180-gram vinyl version.\u003cbr\u003eSaxophonist Joshua Redman's third album as a leader is cause for celebration, because here's a young jazzman gifted with all manner of technical gifts, yet he places a premium on feeling and communication. MOODSWING is just that, a series of changes, alternating between the cool and the hot--each arrangement depicting some aspect of Redman's wide-ranging musical personality.\u003cbr\u003eSo it comes to pass that a long jump tune such as \"Rejoice\" (the centerpiece of MOODSWING) celebrates the gospel aspects of jazz in the tried and true manner of the original Jazz Messengers, even as a low-key \"Faith\" derives its inspiration from quieter forms of devotion, while \"Dialogue\" manages to combine both as Redman expounds on a quiet Aylerish hymn with escalating intensity.\u003cbr\u003eAs with his previous recordings, listeners are left with the sense that young Joshua Redman is mature beyond his years. On a cool, swinging minor blues vamp such as \"Chill,\" the ease with which he manipulates the timbres of his saxophone recall old-time tenor kings from the swing era. And yet, Redman is very much the contemporary thinker, as his funky closing tune \"Headin' Home\" illustrates. Whether playing R\u0026amp;B or hard bop, ballads or swing, blues or latin, it's the total conviction Joshua Redman brings to every note that makes MOODSWING a joy.","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41909588557989,"sku":"075597982251","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/bf6620c69a845b3e1ddeaad6c3491a66.jpg?v=1777602941","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-ca\/products\/moodswing","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
