This is one of tenor-saxophonist
Dewey Redman's more accessible sessions. With the assistance of pianist
Fred Simmons, bassist
Mark Helias and drummer
Eddie Moore,
Redman is heard on the lyrical ballad "Alone Again (Naturally)," a bossa nova, jamming over parade rhythms and performing originals that sometimes are advanced bop. The music is excellent although not as explorative as most of
Redman's other recordings. This fine Galaxy set has been reissued on CD in the OJC series.
