“These two releases [RoundAgain and LongGone] pose the query of no matter if there has at any time been these kinds of a reunion of elevated pedigree in the jazz oeuvre,” says Glide journal: “John Coltrane’s come-and-go with Miles Davis’ in the Sixties comes to intellect, but this 4-way regrouping would surface to be a phenomenon unto itself.” “T report is incredibly substantially akin to the occasion whereby aged pals fulfill up all over again soon after a prolonged interval aside and … uncover out that the characteristics that 1st introduced them with each other not only remain in plentiful supply but have developed all the far more abiding with the passage of time.”

RoundAgain, the group’s first recording due to the fact 1994’s MoodSwing, debuted at No. 1 on the Existing Conventional Jazz Albums chart in the US and at No. 1 on the Jazz & Blues chart in the Uk. The album acquired two Grammy nominations. NPR termed it “a flawless effort,” stating that the four musicians have “only gotten superior in that time” and are each “at the really top of his sport now.”

“Musicians with a scary amount of talent playing into the moment,” says the New York Instances. “The blend of exterior influences into a consensual jazz language, the polyrhythmic play, the scholarly bravado: All people matters felt fresh for these musicians in the 1990s … There is something undeniable—consoling, even—about listening to them remain true to it these days.”

Redman suggests of his initially group as a bandleader, which was with each other for roughly a year and a 50 percent: “I recognized virtually quickly that this band wouldn’t stay with each other for very extensive. They ended up without the need of a question, for our generation, among the most accomplished and modern on their respective devices. I knew far better than any one else just how extremely lucky I was to have even that limited time with them.”
