Wish is the second studio album by jazz saxophonist Joshua Redman; it was released in 1993 by Warner Bros.
He said he was pleased with it because "it has a definite collective identity, a real organic unity.
"[7] The AllMusic review by Alex Henderson notes that although the album could have easily been avant-garde (due to Charlie Haden and Billy Higgins having been part of Ornette Coleman's quartet), it is actually a "mostly inside post-bop date".
He also praises Redman's "ability to provide jazz interpretations of rock and R&B songs", saying that "in Redman's hands, Stevie Wonder's "Make Sure You're Sure" becomes a haunting jazz-noir statement, while Eric Clapton's ballad "Tears in Heaven" is changed from moving pop/rock to moving pop-jazz", noting that the latter could be called "smooth jazz with substance.
"[1] It peaked at number 1 on the Billboard Top Jazz Albums chart.
