Freddie Redd Redds Blues Jazz Music CD Review

The exceptionally talented Jazz artist Freddie Redd has released him CD entitled Redds Blues. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Freddie Redd fans, and Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Redds Blues Freddie Redd’s artistic excellence is on full display as Redd has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.

I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Redds Blues. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Jazz music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Redd on several of the tracks. Artists like Alfred Lion and Rudy Van Gelder just to name a couple.

If you’re a Freddie Redd fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don’t even have to be a fan of Redd, or even Jazz to know is good. This is just good music. Period.

While this entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 2 - Cute Doot, track 4 - Blues For Betsy, and track 6 - Love Lost.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Now. Wow!
