Walter Smith III - Twio

Having enjoyed a lot of Smith's output, including his sequel to this 2018 LP "Twio Vol. 2" (https://mas.to/@dnanian/116201875654715483), I figured it was worth the time to try to run this down on LP.

Achievement unlocked!

This collection of standards (+ 1 original) played by some modern greats (including Smith himself) - McBride (bass), Redman (tenor)...not to mention Harsh Ragavan (bass), and Eric Harland (drums).

Joshua Redman Quartet - MoodSwing

A quartet of stars, in their first outing together, in 1994: Redman (Sax), McBride (bass), Brian Blade (drums), and Brad Mehldau (piano).

Two discs full of originals, really nicely recorded. The performances are uniformly great, too.

Liner notes were left out of this, but are on Redman's website, and well worth reading:
