Don't Explain is an album by jazz saxophonist Joel Frahm.

Background

Frahm and pianist Brad Mehldau had been friends since the age of 15.[1]

Music and recording

The album was recorded in December 2001.[2] The material consists of "six jazz standards, one familiar Ornette Coleman fixture, one memorable pop classic, and one original composition."[3] "Mehldau, who functions as the entire rhythm section, alternates between being an accompanist, a soloist, and an equal part of the ensembles."[1]

Reception

The Penguin Guide to Jazz described the overall result as "a very beautiful but slightly soporific album."[2]
