Joshua Redman returns to Blue Note Records with Words Fall Short, his second album for the legendary jazz label and the formal introduction of his new quartet. Featuring pianist Paul Cornish, bassist Philip Norris, and drummer Nazir Ebo — a group that coalesced during the world tour supporting Redman's label debut — this 2025 release marks an exciting new chapter for one of contemporary jazz's most celebrated saxophonists.
Words Fall Short showcases eight original compositions that highlight the chemistry of Redman's working band, with three tracks elevated by notable guest appearances. The music moves fluidly through atmospheric, introspective textures and cool-jazz interplay, drawing on influences ranging from lyrical tenor melodies to Jarrett-inspired piano feels. It's a focused and cohesive statement that rewards close listening from start to finish.
