After a decade as one of the jazz world’s most prominent, profound saxophonists and bandleaders in an acoustic setting, Redman adds new textures and tensions in what he calls the "electric, groove-based thing" of his brilliant new trio.
As a unit, Redman, Yahel and Blade have already turned heads on the recent collaborative effort yaya3, and they display equal brilliance in interpreting the saxophonist’s new music.

 Joshua Redman Elastic Band | Momentum
Redman and keyboardist Sam Yahel, who makes up the core of the Elastic Band along with alternating drummers Brian Blade and Jeff Ballard, know that it’s possible to make funky, groove-centric music that doesn’t fall anywhere close to the area of smooth jazz.
But Redman’s perspective is less dense than Hancock’s layered keyboard approach, and while the group looks back with fondness, they are equally rooted in the present and perhaps positing for a new kind of accessible music that never panders to a lowest common denominator.
Redman seems to be making giant leaps these days in terms of sound and harmonic depth, justifying the faith that has been afforded him all along.

Redman is in top form throughout, and makes a case for himself as the greatest saxophonist of recent years.

 Joshua Redman : Momentum - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Once again featuring the expansive keyboard talents of Sam Yahel, saxophonist Joshua Redman's Momentum features more of the '70s-influenced jazz the former "young lion" experimented with on 2002's Elastic.
Interestingly, Redman conscribes some heavy sidemen to help stir the funk this time around with bassists Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and jazz-pop iconoclast Me'Shell NdegéOcello adding their signature styles to their respective tracks.
When set next to such classics of '70s funk as Davis' On the Corner or Hancock's Head Hunters, Redman's album is just too polite and controlled to really live up to such comparisons.
