Album titles can be throwaways, shockers or in the case of Joshua Redman’s latest, a statement of an overarching philosophy. Few jazz players on any instrument have fashioned a career as stable or respected as the one that saxophonist and composer Redman has carefully built since breaking on the scene with his 1993 self-titled debut (which earned him his first Grammy nomination). Since then, through a shifting array of ensembles, an unmistakable gift for lyricism, a recognizable saxophone tone and gift for choosing classy material and collaborators, Redman has become an eloquent, stylish purveyor of a coherent and melodic variety of improvisational jazz. Come What May's seven original compositions are more of the same, working in an engaging middle ground, somewhere between cloying smooth jazz and the jagged-edges of the avant-garde. While this may sound too mainstream for some, tunes like the wistful ballad that is the title track, the piano-driven push-pull groove of “Stagger Bear” or the fast, funk-inflected background of “I’ll Go Mine,” have a wonderfully seasoned artistry and undeniable instrumental virtuosity that makes this yet another pleasurable outing from a towering figure in modern straight-ahead jazz. Redman is mightily assisted by his touring Quartet of pianist Aaron Goldberg, bassist Reuben Rogers and drummer Gregory Hutchinson who somehow have not made an album together since 2001’s Passage of Time. Polished and practiced, this foursome epitomizes trust and conviction, generating soul and heart in the interplay between Redman’s deceptively emotional saxophone and Goldberg’s rhythmically inventive piano lines. Gorgeously rich and present sonics complete the latest triumph in a career focused on elegance and consummate taste. © Robert Baird / Qobuz
