Alex Goodman: Impressions in Blue and Red

Read "Impressions in Blue and Red" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

For Tenderness is Silent, his debut disc as a leader, he's assembled a top-flight band, especially as these players are fully dialed-in to Nevin's vision--one that relies much more on subtle, understated beauty than overt gestures and “look-at-me" showmanship.
