Joshua Redman
Joshua Redman is an American jazz saxophonist and composer. His jazz career began with his victory in the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Saxophone Competition in 1991.
His style is deeply rooted in the tradition of modern jazz, namely Coltrane and Rollins, but he never allows himself to be constrained by it. Redman always strives to combine emotion and spontaneity with logical order and solid architecture in his music, proving that jazz is not just an intellectual exercise, but also completely relaxed music. Perhaps this is because, in his youth, he drew inspiration equally from jazz greats and rock bands such as The Beatles, The Police, and Led Zeppelin.
Redman has been captivating audiences since his first eponymous album in 1993, on which he presented himself not only as a leader and saxophonist, but also as the author of most of the material. However, the following year's album Moodswing, which he recorded with his then quartet full of future jazz superstars, was extremely important. And working with Redman helped Brad Mehldau (piano), Christian McBride (double bass), and Brian Blade (drums) launch truly global careers. Redman's band served as an "incubator" for future jazz leaders. Incidentally, when this lineup returned in 2020—now as a "supergroup"—with the album Round Again, it was the event of the season.
