review

Joshua Redman's 2007 album Back East rightfully drew critical comparisons to Sonny Rollins' legendary trio date Way Out West, given everything from the mirror image implication in the title to the manner in which Redman offered the material on the set. The presence of Rollins looms large over Compass as well. Once more, Redman explores a piano-less trio, though there are some quartet and quintet numbers here. Redman is accompanied by longtime friends and collaborators, including drummers Brian Blade and Gregory Hutchinson, and bassists Larry Grenadier and Reuben Rogers. The material is with one exception -- a compelling reworking of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (here known simply as "Moonlight") -- all composed by either Redman or the group. The tunes include some beautiful ballads, such as "Little Ditty," some smoking boppers like "Round Reuben" and "Hutchhiker's Guide," and a beautiful Indo-Asian-kissed number called "Ghost." There is some stellar communication in this band -- check "March" for a single but not isolated example of the intricacies of deep listening and a generous sense of flow. The doubling of rhythm players on the quintet sides doesn't bowl the listener over -- though it could and is hinted at in places -- but rather serves the melody and the arching sense of loose harmonics Redman places at their disposal, and uses time as a device to be toyed with rather than turned in on itself in the service of pure blowing. That said, this is one of the great ironies here, because Redman is looser and more relaxed on Compass than he has ever been on a studio recording. His usual overly studied and cautious approach is largely left at the threshold, even as his now trademark sense of melodic restraint is evident on "Faraway." This serves Redman well, and also offers another signpost to Rollins' influence, because it seems that on Compass, Redman has finally learned the greatest trick from his mentor -- to walk out on the wire with his horn more, trust the fluid abilities of his incredible rhythm section(s), and let his inner sense of song and freedom take precedence over his already well-established sense of discipline.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Joshua Redman has made some fine albums in the past, including Timeless Tales (For Changing Times) (Warner Bros., 1998), Passage of Time (Warner Bros., 2001) and Spirit of the Moment Live (Warner Bros., 1995), but he's never recorded one with such clarity of purpose as the self-produced Compass. In keeping with the dual meaning of the title word (alternately a verb to accomplish as well as the noun as a tool of direction) the saxophonist leads two different trios into unfamiliar terrain with authority and aplomb.

The short, two-minute intro to the album is called "Uncharted," and its gentle crescendos sound like nothing so much as an invocation of the creative impulse. Not that Redman and his band mates hadn't already tendered a supplication to the Muse; aligning themselves in various combinations for the three sessions that produced the album stands as a collective act of courage and artistic self-confidence.

The music bristles with vigor throughout. Whether it's the leader plus drummer Brian Blade and bassist Larry Grenadier navigating the contours of "Faraway" or the three teaming with drummer Gregory Hutchinson and bassist Reuben Rogers on "Just Like You," with all involved instinctively dancing an instrumental ballet of sorts, these musicians pirouette around each other ever so gracefully, with nary a misstep on a melody line when not interlocking on a rhythmic phrase.

What's all the more remarkable about Compass is that, while it is Joshua Redman's twelfth recording as a leader (not counting his tenure at the forefront of SF Jazz Collective), it is just his second since returning from his foray into the land of electric groove with The Elastic Band. The preceding Back East (Nonesuch, 2007), showed more than a few signs of uncertainty, as Redman somewhat tentatively reacquainted himself with the textures of acoustic music and the dynamics of a three-piece lineup. This album, in contrast, betrays none of those qualities but rather a strength and certainty all around, centered in the gentle but forcefully wrought horn lines Redman proffers on "Moonlight," a variation of Beethoven's enduring Moonlight Sonata.

Even on lighter pieces such as the whimsically titled "Hutchhiker's Guide," or when he imbues his soprano horn lines with so much gusto on "Round Reuben," Redman sets the tone for the group. His staunch presence in the role of the bandleader is as crucial to the success of the individual tracks as to the end result of Compass in total.

What may be most impressive, however, is that by the time the original material has been traversed (mostly the saxophonist's, with one each from Grenadier and Blade), there's the palpable sense that the Redman has opened himself up to all manner of possibilities for future musical endeavors, proceeding directly from the cathartic self-renewal that is Compass.
