The Redwood Session is an album by saxophonist Evan Parker with bassist Barry Guy and drummer Paul Lytton recorded in 1995 which was the first release on the CIMP label.
Reception
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Those listeners with very open ears should find this set of interest".
The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings called the performances "non-vintage Parker/Guy/Lytton, fine in their way but lacking the intellectual command of previous discs."
In JazzTimes, Bill Shoemaker called the album "a well-engineered case in point that Parker's trio with bassist Barry Guy and drummer Paul Lytton is the premier improvised music ensemble of the '90s," and wrote: "The resulting listening experience is analogous to watching time-elapsed photography, an exciting compression of physical reality".
