Although always a bit under-recognized and overshadowed by his
contemporaries, tenor-saxophonist Dewey Redman has long been one of the
giants of the avant-garde and bop. This early recording finds Redman
discovering his own individual voice on five of his frequently emotional
originals. Assisted by pianist Jym Young, bassist Donald Raphael Gareet
and drummer Eddie Moore, this San Francisco date is quite adventurous
and holds one's interest throughout. Scott Yanow

The great tenor Dewey Redman has always been a versatile player and he really gets a chance to show off his individuality on this set, whether it is some freebop a la early Ornette Coleman, "Mirror Windows" (which is an explosion of sound and pure energy), the soulful "Blues for J.A.M. - Part 1," a free and speechlike tenor-piano duet with Geri Allen on "As One" and a boppish "Lazy Bird." On "If I Should Lose You," Redman has a rare chance to play some conventional but cliché-free alto. With bassist Cameron Brown and drummer Eddie Moore forming a solid team, this is an easily recommended set of inside/outside music. Scott Yanow
