Additional information
Personnel: Dewey Redman (tenor & alto saxophones, musette); Joshua Redman (tenor saxophone); Charles Eubanks (piano); Anthony Cox (acoustic bass); Carl Allen (drums); Danny Sadownick (percussion). Recorded at Sound On Sound Studio, New York, New York in December 1992. Includes liner notes by John Litweiler. In the 1990s, legendary avant-garde saxophonist Dewey Redman began incorporating his challenging brand of free-jazz playing into more traditional contexts. AFRICAN VENUS (recorded in late '92) typified this trend, as heard on his surprisingly straight interpretations of "Mr. Sandman" and two Duke Ellington standards--"Satin Doll" and "Take the 'A' Train." Flanked by a fine cast of session musicians, including his son, tenor sax player Joshua Redman (who contributes a smooth, swing-inflected solo on "Satin Doll"), Redman plays with a confidence born of a career in experimentation. It is this quality that allows him to sound so vital in a more traditional, post-bop vein. Redman's own compositions, however, recall his less conventional roots. The title track, with its North African flavor and Middle Eastern scales (Redman plays the musette, an instrument that resembles the bagpipe), is evocative of Saharan expanses. "Venus and Mars," though highly melodic, moves smoothly in a free-bop mode with plenty of room for the soloists to play slightly left-of-center. The ballad "Echo Prayer" showcases Redman at his most expressive, and the cover of Ornette Coleman's "Turnaround," which closes the album, is a nod to one of Redman's most important mentors and associates.

Reviews
Down Beat (11/94, p.46) - 3 Stars - Good - "...Dewey's own tunes are good--the title cut features an expansive musette musing and glossolalic vocalizations. `Echo Prayer' has his most adventurous blowing over a slinky background..."
