Illuminate is an album by a quartet co-led by jazz guitarist Joe Morris and alto saxophonist Rob Brown, which was recorded in 1993 and released on Leo Lab, a sublabel of Leo Records.Rehearsing and recording this album was the first time the quartet worked together as a band, although Morris played with Brown before on Youniverse and the trio without Morris recorded High Wire.[1]
In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek says about the album that "it's a challenging and deeply satisfying set of music by a short-lived but gifted quartet." The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "the defining characteristic of the music on Illuminate is the responsiveness of the player to one another."[2]
