Details: Review Laden with self-conscious arrangements and distressingly banal improvising, these tales come off far more dated than timeless. — Entertainment Weekly Amazon.ca On Timeless Tales, saxophone hero Joshua Redman examines ten popular standards from a variety of musical eras. Opening with a expansive version of « Summertime, » Redman’s tone is both hearty and buoyant. With the tasteful accompaniment of Brad Mehldau on piano, Larry Grenadier on bass, and Brian Blade on drums, he covers a range of once-contemporary pop and rock classics including « Eleanor Rigby, » « The Times They Are A-Changin, » and even a tune by Prince. Using the tenor, alto, and soprano saxophones in his instrumental arsenal, Redman reveals a vibrant imagination while staying solidly within the mainstream of jazz. Embracing beautiful ballads like « How Deep Is the Ocean » and jaunty old compositions like « Love for Sale, » Joshua Redman exhibits discerning taste in his chosen selections and distinctive playing style. –Mitch Myers
