Choices is an album by American jazz saxophonist
Dewey Redman featuring performances recorded in 1992 for the
Enja label.[1] The album features the recording debut of Redman's son
Joshua Redman.
Reception
The
Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars stating "Redman himself is in fine form, playing with all of the deep, steamy lyricism he showcased so brilliantly with
Ornette Coleman and in
Old and New Dreams, but there is something else too, as evidenced by the track selection, and that is a new reverence for the tradition. Redman was always a melodic player, even in his most fiery avant encounters, but his love for jazz tradition, particularly its formalist considerations, was never really apparent until now".[2]
