Dewey Redman - Coincide (1974) [true flac]

A beautiful and spiritual record by Dewey – and one that features very stripped down playing, mostly in a trio or quartet format. The players differ from track to track – and they include Sirone on bass, Eddie Moore on drums, Leroy Jenkins on violin, and Ted Daniel on trumpet. Two tracks feature Redman playing zither, which sounds strange, but very nice. Another features clarinet, and the remainder feature Dewey on his traditional tenor. Titles include "QOW", "Somnifacient", "Seeds & Deeds", "Funcitydues", and "Phadan-Sers". © Dusty Groove, Inc.

Dewey Redman is featured in a few different settings on this intriguing and generally successful album. The best cuts are the originals that match Redman's tenor with bassist Sirone and drummer Eddie Moore. In addition, he is heard on zither on two cuts (one of which is unaccompanied), and his trio adds trumpeter Ted Daniel and violinist Leroy Jenkins for two complex originals; Redman switches to clarinet on "Somnifacient." Although it is interesting to hear Redman on clarinet and zither, his tenor playing is clearly his strong point and the main reason to search for this LP. His ten-minute workout on "Qow" is outstanding. ~ by Scott Yanow, AMG.
