    Momentum
    Momentum is the second album from The Joshua Redman Elastic Band. At this group’s core is Redman’s ongoing collaboration with Sam Yahel, with whom Redman began composing, performing, and—with Brian Blades on drums—recording in 2002. Playing with Jeff Ballard on drums, Redman and Yahel have performed live in several major U.S. cities. A Los Angeles Times review said, “It’s no mystery that samplers, sequencers and rhythm machines can produce remarkable results in the hands of performers with minimal musical skills. Would artists such as Redman, keyboardist Sam Yahel and drummer Jeff Ballard find something richer, deeper, darker? The answer is yes.” Redman and Yahel worked together to create Redman’s album Elastic, as well as a recording released the same year under the moniker Yaya3. Like these previous forays, and this time with a diverse cast of players, Momentum draws upon rock, funk, and other groove-based musical elements, augmenting Redman’s saxophone improvisation with various electric effects and instruments.

    The latest release from Joshua Redman is an impressive trio record with Brian Blade on drums and Sam Yahel on keyboards. Redman does not simply regurgitate bebop as some critics have derided him for. He is deeper than that, he is reinventing himself with this trio, pushing music in another direction, growing as a musician.
