Joshua Redman has always had a way of sounding up the middle without being boring, which—easier said than done. Recorded as a new quartet with pianist Paul Cornish, bassist Philip Norris and drummer Nazir Ebo, 2025’s <i>Words Fall Short</i> is, in the rough breakdown of his discography, one of Redman’s more straightforwardly “jazz” releases, grounded in tradition but never bogged down by it, combining blues-ish ballads (“Borrowed Eyes”), solemn, ’70s-style Eurojazz (“A Message to Unsend”) and the dazzling lightness of post-bop/pre-free Coltrane (“Words Fall Short”) with a coolness and erudition that makes even edgy moments feel smooth. Special mention to the back-and-forth with saxophonist Melissa Aldana on “So It Goes” and the near-dissonances of “She Knows”, both of which point toward the avant-garde while remaining firmly, comfortably in the jazz mainstream. Yes, he colours inside the lines—but he makes those lines vibrate with life.
