Again and Again (Oliver Lake album)

Again and Again is an album by the American jazz saxophonist Oliver Lake.

Lake composed eight ballads for a quartet with pianist John Hicks, bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Pheeroan akLaff.

The Washington Post wrote that "the album finds Lake in a mood of almost unbroken reflection, playing with a tart, yearning tone over the shimmering and often harmonically ambiguous backdrops.

"[5] In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states: "Although none of these originals are destined to become standards, they inspire Lake to come up with some of his more lyrical solos.

"[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes: "Again and Again offers an uncommonly lyrical and mainstream performance from Lake.
