Sun on Sand

Sun on Sand is a studio album by jazz saxophonist Joshua Redman's trio and string quartet Brooklyn Rider.

On the album, Joshua Redman plays alongside the string quartet with his trio of Scott Colley on double bass and Satoshi Takeishi on drums.

"[3] Mike Hobart of Financial Times commented, "The evocative string arrangements, though somewhat literal, pull the various influences into coherence and are easy on the ear.

But it is Redman’s energy, clarity of thought and complex tonal palette combining with the ethnic resonance of Takeishi’s drumming that give the album its original stamp.

"[2] Matt Collar of AllMusic added, ' Redman has the facility and sound to carry the music, but Brooklyn Rider offer a deeply textured counterpoint, while Zimmerli's expansive voice remains ever present.
