Rob Reddy's Small Town: The Book of the Storm
by Donald Elfman
This “Small Town --Reddy's large ensemble--has created a massive statement that shows just where jazz composition, new music, collective improvisation and individual expression meet. The leader, though a vital and engaging instrumentalist, envisioned this four-part suite as a situation where he would not play his saxophones. What took shape, instead, was a huge structure that revolved ...
Rob Reddy's Small Town: The Book of the Storm
by Nic Jones
This is a break with precedent for saxophonist and composer Reddy, as it's the first time he's recorded an extended composition for a large ensemble of which he's not a performing member. His role here is that of both composer and conductor, and he's fortunate indeed to have a group so clearly capable of making his ...

by Jerry D'Souza
Rob Reddy puts his saxophone aside to concentrate on composition for The Book of the Storm. Reddy has already shown that he has germane ideas and brings that facet into prominence once more.

Rob Reddy's Gift Horse: A Hundred Jumping Devils
by Karl A.D. Evangelista
Rob Reddy's music conveys motion--a rare thing in an era when jazz often seems like the stuff of historians, when even the most astute artist might fail to create anything genuinely new. Doubtless, though, Reddy is a capable creative voice, and A Hundred Jumping Devils is far more than mere repertory work or pastiche. Following the ...
Rob Reddy's Gift Horse: A Hundred Jumping Devils
by Jerry D'Souza
Rob Reddy has always been an adventurer in the best sense of the word. He goes out once again here with his Gift Horse group, raking in a different kind of music--not only with the far from usual instrumentation of the band, but also a greater reliance on composition than in the past. Many of the ...
