This first-time outing by the trio of young organist Sam Yahel, star saxophonist Joshua Redman and sought-after drummer Brian Blade is sneakily low-key--a set of originals you're ready to dismiss as lightweight until the soulful melodies and group chemistry kick in. Yahel (nicknamed "Yaya"), who is new to big-label exposure, combines the subtle, blissfully restrained touch of the recently deceased Shirley Scott with the dark cresting chords of 60s organ innovator Larry Young. Redman, on leave from the high concepts that have grounded his recent albums, offers some of his nimblest tenor playing in a while, making us regret that he doesn't cut loose more often (he also gets more out of his soprano than usual). And Blade, whose past associations with Redman and Yahel brought them together, does a nice job of toning down his edgy, declamatory style and sweeps the music along. The album marks the reawakening of Warner's long-dormant R&B subsidiary, Loma Records. --Lloyd Sachs
