  • Description

    On 'With Due Respect' Freddie Redd presides over a sextet of much younger generations as performer and composer of old and new compositions embodied here to render a remarkable reminder of jazz's longevity. Featuring saxophonist Chris Byars, trombonist John Mosca, bassist Jay Anderson and drummer Billy Drummond.

    One of the handful of surviving original hard-boppers Freddie Redd is turned 88 in 2016. The famed composer of the 60s iconic off-Broadway play The Connection Redd's recording career has been, however, sporadic despite his great talent.

    His trio album 'Music For You' (SCCD31796) in 2014, the first in almost three decades rectified this trend following the precursory 2012 release of 'Music Forever' (SCCD31743) a tribute album to Redd's music by altoist Chris Byars' Octet.

    Personnel: Freddie Redd (piano), Chris Byars (alto saxophone, flute), John Mosca (trombone), Stefano Doglioni (bass clarinet), Jay Anderson (bass), Billy Drummond (drums), James Byars (oboe - track 2)
