In 2019, Joshua Redman Quartet Reunited for a Lively Concert in the Falcon, Marlboro, NY In 2019, Joshua Redman Quartet reunited for a lively concert in the Falcon, Marlboro, NY. The stage was intimate with the performers seated close to each other. Joshua Redman, composer and saxophone player, started the concert with the song “Long Gone”. He initiated the concert with a strong sax intro that foreshadows the strong presence of the instrument for the rest of the concert. The rest of the instruments were played smoothly in the back, all led by the sax. Right away, it was obvious that the artists are enjoying themselves immensely, especially Brian Blade on drums. His lively and happy face expressions portrayed what I felt inside while listening to this piece. In the middle of the song, Redman steps aside and leaves the rest of the band to show off their marvelous talents. Then, Brad Mehldau led his piano solo, playing in such an easygoing manner that only an expert artist is able to achieve. Even with the sax gone, the song was still intact and didn’t feel lacking, which shows its great composition; every instrument complemented the other and had a major role in tying the harmonies together. Next, Christian McBride’s led his outstanding bass solo, which gave the song extra depth and intensity. Redman comes back at the perfect time to raise the tempo of the song again and re- excite the audience. The outro of the song was phenomenal, taking the tempo down gradually while maintaining the overall structure of the song. After a well-deserved, enthusiastic clapping and cheering from the audience, the next song started, “Father,” composed by Brad Mehldau. Unlike “Long Gone,” the song started off with the piano rather than sax. This was an amazing, piano-focused piece; the piano led the structure of the song while the rest of the instruments contributed to perfect the overall rhythm. I was very affected by this song, the piano washes all over you and captivates you until you feel like it’s all you can hear, and then the sax comes back and completely changes the vibe of the song. They complemented each other very well. Similar to “Long Gone,” “Father’s” outro continues to rise in tempo until it gradually slows down and fades away. The next song, "Undertow" also featured a piano intro. The solo made me imagine a calm, romantic night at the beach under the stars. Then, slowly, the sax added to the beat of the piano; the bass and drums joined gradually as well, with the piano remaining at the center of the composition. The song rose significantly in tempo in the middle, even the piano notes got higher. This attracts attention again and induces excitement. I felt like I wanted to get up and dance. Then another surprise! Sax moved aside; the song slows down again with the focus going back to the piano. This song was very interesting to experience, I didn’t know what to expect next. The next song, “Ship to Shore” felt different than the 3 prior to it, the intro was somehow calmer. It featured a phenomenal Bass solo, with McBride capturing every note perfectly and smoothly while keeping the audience’s attention sharp. The piano was also dominant in this piece, while the drums were the cherry on top, adding a certain flare to the song. The role of the sax is quite minimal. It only starts and ends the song, not much of a presence in the middle. But, its presence in the outro was very intense and brought much needed high tempo to the song. The final song “Right Back Round Again” was the perfect way to end the concert, because of its traditional jazz vibes, influenced by the bass intro. It’s a well-structured song, takes you to a world of fun and dance. It’s the happiest song I’ve heard in this concert. Finally, my only criticism would be that I wished for a drums solo from Brian Blade. Nonetheless, all the songs played in the concert were very well-structured, organized, and didn’t feel messy in any way. Each piece portrayed very strong composition and execution. I enjoyed the convert a lot! .

  • Joshua Redman: Still Dreaming
    Joshua Redman: Still Dreaming Start time: 7.30pm Set times: 19.30pm Duncan Eagles Trio 8pm interval 8.20pm Joshua Redman All times are approximate and subject to change Kevin Le Gendre speaks to Joshua Redman about jazz, his creative process and his Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change father’s legacy ahead of his performance. ‘New bottle, old wine’ is a poetic image for a fundamental principle in jazz. It refers to the process of reinterpreting, reviving and rebooting songs of the past with the energy and ideas of the present. When saxophonist -composer Joshua Redman decided to perform the music of the legendary ensemble Old and New Dreams he was upholding this culture, but there was also a compellingly personal subtext to the project. The quartet, active between the late 70s and late 80s, was jointly led by his father, saxophonist Dewey, trumpeter Don Cherry, double bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Ed Blackwell. All of the above played with Ornette Coleman, a visionary who ushered in daring new approaches to composition and improvisation. Redman, who actually played with Dewey, as well as Haden and other Coleman alumni, Billy Higgins and Pat Metheny, in the early 90s, was moved to launch his Old and New Dreams project four years ago following Haden’s death. ‘There was a memorial [for him] in January 2015 at Town Hall in New York that I was a part of,’ Redman explains. ‘I found myself, immediately after, listening to his music and a lot of music my father was a part of.

  • The Bad Plus Joshua Redman Currículum I Discografia
    THE BAD PLUS JOSHUA REDMAN CURRÍCULUM I DISCOGRAFIA www.joshuaredman.com www.thebadplus.com JOSHUA REDMAN Joshua Redman és un dels artistes de jazz més aclamats i carismàtics que han sorgit a la dècada dels 90. Nascut a Berkeley, Califòrnia, és el fill del llegendari saxofonista Dewey Redman i de la ballarina Renee Shedroff. Des de ben petit va ser exposat a una gran varietat de músiques (jazz, clàssic, rock, soul, músiques de l’Índia, d’Indonèsia, de l’Orient Mitjà, de l’Àfrica) i a l’ús d’instruments diferents (piano, guitarra, gathan, gamelan). Va començar a tocar el clarinet amb nou anys abans de passar-se al que seria el seu instrument principal anys més tard, el saxo tenor. Les seves primeres influències van ser dels artistes John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Cannonball Adderley i per suposat del seu pare Dewey Redman. Però també The Beatles, Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, Earth, Wind and Fire, Prince, The Police i Led Zeppelin. Tot i que a en Joshua li encantava tocar el saxofon i era membre guardonat de la Berkeley High School Jazz Ensemble i Combo 1983-86, mai va considerar seriosament convertir-se en un músic professional i va prioritzar els seus estudis acadèmics. L’any 1991 va graduar-se a Harvard College amb Summa Cum Laude i a Phi Beta Kappa amb B.A. en una llicenciatura d’Estudis Socials, i va ser acceptat a la Facultat de Dret de Yale.

  • Joshua Redman
    JOSHUA REDMAN Joshua Redman is one of the most acclaimed and charismatic jazz artists to have emerged in the decade of the 1990s. Born in Berkeley, California, he is the son of legendary saxophonist Dewey Redman and dancer Renee Shedroff. He was exposed at an early age to a variety of musics (jazz, classical, rock, soul, Indian, Indonesian, Middle-Eastern, African) and instruments (recorder, piano, guitar, gatham, gamelan), and began playing clarinet at age nine before switching to what became his primary instrument, the tenor saxophone, one year later. The early influences of John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Cannonball Adderley and his father, Dewey Redman, as well as The Beatles, Aretha Franklin, the Temptations, Earth, Wind and Fire, Prince, The Police and Led Zeppelin drew Joshua more deeply into music. But although Joshua loved playing the saxophone and was a dedicated member of the award-winning Berkeley High School Jazz Ensemble and Combo from 1983-86, academics were always his first priority, and he never seriously considered becoming a professional musician. In 1991 Redman graduated from Harvard College summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa with a B.A. in Social Studies. He had already been accepted by Yale Law School, but deferred entrance for what he believed was only going to be one year. Some of his friends (former students at the Berklee College of Music whom Joshua had met while in Boston) had recently relocated to Brooklyn, and they were looking for another housemate to help with the rent. Redman accepted their invitation to move in, and almost immediately he found himself immersed in the New York jazz scene.
