4 Quotes by Dewey Redman

The music should be first, not the ego or the personality or the style.

Maybe not as an idol, but I have influenced some people, including my son Joshua. So that feels good. Wherever I play musicians come to meet me, that is a great compliment to me. I am honored.

I like to think of myself as an original. I have my own sound. That’s not easy to come by, I worked on it for many years. But I like to think that I sound like Dewey Redman.

What I reach for first when I play is sound. Technique maybe, but there is technique in sound.
