With Words Fall Short saxophonist Joshua Redman takes an organic next step with a collection of originals, and featuring his new working group, with pianist Paul Cornish, bassist Philip Norris, and drummer Nazir Ebo. There's also a collaboration with Blue Note labelmate, saxophonist Melissa Aldana, and a feature with vocalist Gabrielle Cavassa, who appeared on Joshua's last release, Where Are We. As Redman says, "My approach to bandleading is unchanged. Play with musicians who have mastered different jazz vocabularies, and know how to express their individual brilliance through group improvisation and collective interaction."
