Till We Have Faces is the sixth album by saxophonist Gary Thomas which was recorded in 1992 and released on the JMT label. As with his previous album While the Gate Is Open (1990), it features Thomas' interpretations of eight jazz standards.
Reception
The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek states, "This is Thomas' best moment on record thus far, and a casebook example of reinterpreting the jazz genre." The Chicago Tribune's Jack Fuller noted "The combination of Gary Thomas' whirling dervish tenor saxophone and Pat Metheny's guitar makes this an outstanding recording".
