New Wine in an Old Bottle.......2002-09-03

A sweet album, with well written tunes (some have said are too much alike) that blend into one another in a relaxed easy way. This is the sort of music you can throw on anytime. It always sounds right to me. Yaya3 is a step forward. When someone says,"Organ trio," I get a sound in my mind of heavy riffs and fat drums. This is something different. A bit lighter with some interesting harmonies and edgy playing. Sam Yahel, particularly is always playing the perfect comp, the great solo..he's deep in the tune- a real part of it. Yahel's style is so subtle so empathetic that I'll back the cd up to relisten to a little filligree he'll put in at just the perfect moment. I wish that this effort had more of his playing...the date seems to belong to Redman. And Redman fits very well in this trio context. For me it's his most cohesive playing so far. There's an individual stylist here, not a saxophonist that's a collage of other influences. I've got to say this is Blades at his best-in the past he's either way too much flash or sounds like a bored hired-gun. Here he's definitely connected to the spirit of things- shading, adding textures, keeping the groove going without the hyper-intensity I've come to assosciate with him. A great cd, that's beautifully recorded and mixed. And good for WB for resurrecting LOMA and issueing a jazz performance. A good sign in weird times.

A dynamic and sophisticated album.......2002-07-08

Quite often trio albums are less than the sum of their luminary parts. This album defies that, giving space to all three participants who provide nuance, depth and the dynamics to allow the creation of something very special.Whoever miked up Brian Blade's drums did a magnificent job, and his contribution is every bit as important as the other two participants, with clusters of sound filling,probing and moving the trio forward. Sam Yahel provides both empathetic understanding of what Redman can do, and also coaxes a wide range of sounds out of his B3.Joshua Redman is on his very best form on both tenor and soprano, in turn stretching the limits of the form, and at other times sitting back to allow his fellow musicians to develop their own themes."Slow Orbit" is an excellent preview of what is to come, with "The Spirit lives on","Aeolio" and "The Scribe" my other current favourites, but this is another album that gives up something new with every play. It is by turns subtle yet sinewy, but above all it's an enjoyable album with its own ever developing dynamics. I highly recommend this album, and eagerly anticipate what their next collaboration will deliver.

Refined, Modern, Creative.......2002-06-13

This is a great album of the group that has, for the past few years, made certain wednesday nights at Smalls the place to be in NY. The refined and original sound of Yahel on organ, and the interaction between Brian Blade and Redman make this CD stand out as one of the most original and captivating albums of the year. I hope this is the first of many fine recordings from this trio.
