With Come What May, Joshua Redman makes the fans of his saxophone playing happy again after only a few months, i.e. within a short time, after his last year album Still Dreaming. This time he can be heard with his quartet Aaron Goldberg, piano, Reuben Rogers, bass and Gregory Hutchinson on drums, with whom he has been touring for 20 years, but the last time he released an album together with them was five years ago. The four musicians are perfectly attuned to each other through their long time together on stage, which allows them to approach most of the songs from Joshua Redman himself on Come What May in a relaxed manner. In addition, the quartet had these pieces in their touring baggage for years. So, they were ready to be recorded on an album before the pieces were sanded down by excessive routine. Joshua Redman sees it this way: "Sometimes you notice that a song, if you play it often, starts to crumble. You can miss the right time and that's exactly what I was wondering this time. The great thing about this band is that everyone knows how to make the music interesting and creative and keep the mood. So, in the end, the best songs on the album were the ones we played a lot."
There's no doubt about it: Everybody who stands on perfect jazz, emotionally charged and performed at the highest level, needs Come What May Come in his collection. An appropriately skillfully realized recording technique rounds off the pleasure of this album.
