Words Fall Short
Joshua Redman's second Blue Note album, Words Fall Short, is a collection of original compositions that serves as the introduction of his new quartet, featuring pianist Paul Cornish, bassist Philip Norris and drummer Nazir Ebo, which formed as a working band for the world tour behind the saxophonist's label debut - where are we. As the quartet performed steadily on the road, Redman felt a vibe developing and was inspired to bring them into the studio to record a set of music he had composed during the pandemic that embraced the shifting moods of wistfulness, sadness and resolve. The album also features special guest appearances by saxophonist Melissa Aldana, trumpeter Skylar Tang and vocalist Gabrielle Cavassa.

Skeletá (Pop/Rock)
Ghost's sixth psalm is its most unflinchingly introspective work to date. Where previous albums dealt largely with chronicling and/or observing outward facing subject matter, such as Impera's meditations on the rise and fall of empires and its predecessor Prequelle's evocations of the ravages of era-defining plagues, Skelet¿'s lyrics render the distinct individual emotional vistas of each of its ten songs in one-on-one fashion, at times as if in a dialogue with oneself in a mirror. The end result is a singular collection of timeless, universal sentiments, all filtered through a prism of a uniquely personal point of view
