MoodSwing, from the onset the young and gifted saxophonist named Joshua Redman unveils the goods treating each note with grace, purpose and arranges these wonderful compositions with an enriched passion while he flirts successfully with lyrical finesse. Funny thing, critics dare to compare Redman with his rivals engaging negatively by insisting that he hasn’t come full circle into a place as many of his contemporaries have supposedly arrived. Nonsense, as I listen to him play his horn he’s obviously not Coltrane … nor is he trying to emulated his sound. Therefore, on this session Joshua as expected pours out his very soul to evoke a fresh spirit into the creative musings on a tapestry appropriately titled “MoodSwing.” ~ The Urban Flux
