One more for Wayne. This is a really concise "All Blues" with the Quartet, so, again, it's something where you could phone it in, but there is just a hell of a lot a musical dialog happening here. Beautiful.

Joshua Redman, Brad Mehldau, Christian McBride, and Brian Blade’s new album, ‘LongGone,’ is out now! "Musical soulmates reunite to stunning effect," says the Guardian, naming LongGone its Jazz Album of the Month. You can get it and hear it here.

In 1994, the original Joshua Redman Quartet released MoodSwing, an instant classic that helped launch each member’s career as a leader. The members of the quartet reunited for the critically acclaimed album RoundAgain in 2020 and now for a new album, LongGone, featuring original Redman compositions from the RoundAgain recording sessions, plus a live performance of the MoodSwing track "Rejoice," captured by SFJAZZ at the San Francisco Jazz Festival. 

The quartet will tour the US and Europe throughout the fall. Details/tickets here.

Brian is one of your favorite drummer's favorite drummers. On this album, however, he does a lot more than play drums. All songs written by Brian, and he sings and plays guitar as well. One of my all-time favorite albums, demonstrating great songwriting, musicianship, pocket, and collaboration. Just appeared on Spotify, years after I lost my CD. Featuring: Daniel Lanois (produced U2), Kelly Jones, Aaron Embry, Goffrey Moore, Jon Cowherd (incredible pianist from Blade Fellowship band), Greg Leisz, Christopher Thomas, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Rocco Deluca, John Bigham, Daryl Johnson (extreme pocket bassist), Patrick Smith
