Reception

[edit]

Steve Baltin of Forbes wrote, "Thirty years into his career, acclaimed jazz saxophonist/composer Joshua Redman is continuing to chart new territory. On his stunning new album, Where Are We, Redman marks a few firsts. For starters it's his debut on iconic jazz label Blue Note. And, much more importantly, it marks his first album working with a featured vocalist, as rising star Gabrielle Cavassa takes the vocal lead throughout the collection."[13] Mike Hobart of Financial Times stated, "Technical levels are high, stylistic references broad and moods are subtle and bittersweet — the album’s theme is both the joy of gathering and the angst suffered when people are unjustly separated."[5]
