Saxophonist and composer Joshua Redman is a regular on NPR's Jazz Night in America, featured on episodes including a tribute to his father, saxophonist Dewey Redman, and a reunion with his former quartet featuring Brad Mehldau, Jazz Night host Christian McBride and Brian Blade. Since his debut in the 1990s, Redman has built a career thoughtfully exploring every crevice of modern jazz and infusing it with the variety of genres he grew up listening to.
Here, Redman presents cuts from his latest album, Where Are We, a medication on the complexities of America, featuring new collaborator vocalist Gabrielle Cavassa. In "Chicago Blues," Redman's take on a Count Basie classic, and a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Streets of Philadelphia," Cavassa and Redman dance over the anchoring grooves from bassist Philip Norris and drummer Nazir Ebo, while pianist Paul Cornish delivers a stunning improvised transition between the two songs. For the final selection, Redman opens with an improvisation on "America the Beautiful." The traditional, patriotic tune is a stark contrast to the ugly inspiration for the plaintive "After Minneapolis" that follows, about the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer. The song's growing maelstrom surrounds Redman's haunting wails and Cavassa's mournful interpretation of Redman's lyrics. Throughout, Redman's solos serve to illustrate why he is one of today's best saxophonists.

Joshua Redman once came to the small coffee shop I work at. I didn't know him at the time, but he was obviously into coffee, so we struck up a short conversation. He said he'd love to put me and an additional person (+2 other guests in the café) on the guest list for the show he was playing that same night. I went with my mother, who happened to be visiting. It was a great concert and a lovely chance encounter.

That was also very kind of you to actually even go out to his concert. Sometimes people get put on the guestlist and don’t show up. It can be an embarrassing bummer when that happens for the artist. He must have felt a vibe from you of trust, open-mindedness, patience, and taste that isn’t always there in the static. Having an attentive and grateful audience is the best gift for any artist, and the privilege to perform for such a crowd must be better than any dope.

I met Joshua Redmen accidentally in a Jazz Club in Budapest about 13 years ago. I had recently listened a lot to one of his albums, so I was excited, but unfortunately the concert was already over. But he was super kind and came out of backstage and chatted a bit with me. He even made me take a photo with him, which I didn't even think of, but then I couldn't say no. Very humble guy he was.

I'm impressed with the unit that he has now with the vocalist Gabrielle Cavassa Love her voice from the first note I heard her sing . The texture ,body, her enunciation, is perfect and she's extremely beautiful too. Should be a great concert and a great tour 👍

I've always loved the music of Joshua Redman and his various accompaniments. I bought the "Wish" album back in the late 90's, and Elastic while studying music in my college days. At those times, all the know-it-alls told me I should be listening to Michael Brecker, who, of course I listened to - just like Charlie Parker and John Coltrane. But Joshua Redman's music always held a special place in my heart. I think it's because he's never just "riffing", there is a genuine emotional connotation behind all the lines he plays. Molten Soul is a great example. Thanks again, Joshua and musical members, for another inspiring musical performance.
