Originally unveiled in 1960 on Blue Note, Shades Of Redd showcases pianist Freddie Redd at his creative peak, leading a dynamic quintet through a collection of bold, expressive jazz compositions. Known for its adventurous spirit and distinct melodic flair, the album features memorable performances from an elite group of musicians, including standout contributions from alto saxophonist Jackie McLean.
This high definition remaster pays homage to one of hard bop's finest hours, capturing the full depth and nuance of Redd’s vision. Highlights such as the dramatic “Thespian,” with its notable bowed bassline and engaging double-time sections, celebrate the timeless energy and sophistication that continue to make Shades Of Redd a favorite among jazz enthusiasts.
