Dewey Redman: In London (1996 – Palmetto Records)

Accompanied by pianist Rita Marcotulli, bassist Cameron Brown and drummer Matt Wilson, veteran tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman puts on a well-rounded program. On “I Should Care,” “The Very Thought of You” (a tribute to Dexter Gordon) and the bossa nova “Portrait In Black & White,” he shows that, although his roots are in avant-garde jazz, Redman is quite capable of caressing a melody. In contrast, his renditions of “I-Pimp,” “Tu-inns” and “Eleven” emphasize freer improvising and plenty of fire. In both contexts, Dewey Redman emerges as an underrated giant.
