Which are the Dewey Redman albums on which he 'sings,' through the tenor sax or otherwise?

Have been hearing about this for years but have never heard any of it

Are you sure you're not thinking of Arthur Doyle?

No, for sure. I pretty much own the collected works of Mr Doyle, God help me.

No, I was re-reading Val Wilmer's book and remembered that I meant to check out the Dewey Redman stuff she spoke about in there. All the stuff of his I've heard is very good, natch, but none of it seems to have anything resembling 'singing'

Well, if he's singing while also blowing it's going to come out as a growl. Maybe that's what's being referred to more than a Roland Kirk style singing-with-mouth-on-flute.

i saw pharoah sanders do this a few years ago. it was more of a yelling into the bell of the horn.

the only redman album i have is Ear of the Behearer. lemme put it on and i'll let you know if he sings.

he's definitely growl/singing through the sax. it talks about him doing it in the liner notes too.

kinda reminds me of the native american chant/growling on the Kalaparush Maurice McIntyre album "Humility In the Light of Creator" (one of my favorite jazz albums of all time).

i'd pick up this Redman album if i were you, it's really nice.
