Feb 12, 2013Everything is great.
-
Feb 12, 2013Without a Net is free to bursting point, but it's a triumph.
-
Feb 12, 2013It’s all intelligently arranged, but also in thrall to the energy and swing of jazz tradition--there is plenty of rhythm and blues during the improvising.
-
Feb 12, 2013While the album is daunting to absorb at a sprawling 77 minutes, the results are well worth it.
-
Jul 15, 2013To fully appreciate the album, it needs close attention. The magic comes when the members of the quartet start bumping each other up to the next musical level, and it helps to discover the steps they take to do that.
-
Feb 21, 2013This superb recording is as good a place as any to find a decent map.
-
Feb 12, 2013Shorter is firmly at the helm, yet benevolent enough to play the background when needed. The rhythm has taken him far.

MojoFeb 12, 2013Comprising mostly new material, the performances are frequently breathtaking. [Mar 2013, p.91]

UncutFeb 12, 2013Some stunning inventive improvisation, with pianist Danilo Perez sounding like 10 excited monkeys jumping up and down on the keys. In a good way. [Mar 2013, p.76]

Feb 12, 2013While any new album from Shorter is an event at this juncture, Without a Net is special even among the recordings made by this outstanding group.
-
Feb 12, 2013Perez, Pattitucci and Blade are about as blue chip as they come, and they easily outclass their somewhat calcified counterparts on the Rollins outings, but there are still sections in the collection that don’t feel on par with Shorter’s storied brilliance.
