Album Review
Back East is a 2007 album by jazz saxophonist Joshua Redman. There are a lot of old favorite songs on the album. Redman starts a bluesy rhythm on "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top" and continues with "East of the Sun (and West of the Moon)". Sam Yahel is added to the first three tracks. "I'm an Old Cowhand" and "Wagon Wheels" sound very well with just three guys playing as for "India", a John Coltrane classic deals with Redman and his late father.
