Joshua Redman - Tenor Saxophone
Brad Mehldau - Piano
Christian McBride - Bass
Brian Blade - Drums

This is a re-post and upgrade to this post here which was posted in MP3 320kbps. This one also has slightly different information. The original uploader said this recording was from a date in New York City, New York at an undisclosed location. The info on the CD says it was recorded Live In The U.S.A. '94 so that is the info I am going to use for this upgraded re-post. The CD is also a promo only CD sent to radio stations to promote Joshua Redman. It is a Pre-FM Recording actually, so there you go.

Joshua Redman is the son of Jazz Saxophone Legend Dewey Redman. Dewey Redman had played with them all: Keith Jarrett, Charlie Haden, Don Cherry, Ornette Coleman, Paul Motian and Flautist Jane Bunnett to name a few. There was a performance from a band called Fathers And Sons which not only had saxophonists Dewey & Joshua Redman but the father son duo Von & Chico Freeman. That band also had Brad Mehldau piano, and Christian McBride on bass, therefore a bigger connection to these 2 posts. The band had been rounded out by Gregory Hutchinson on drums. If you click Joshua Redman at the right of you it will take you to 17 more posts from Joshua Redman. The Fathers And Sons post will be in that list.

Another great recording by this quartet of Legends. This show can best be described as "An Hour Of Greatness". Can you tell that this line up blows the back of my head right off. Even on their worst night, these players will eclipse what/who ever else is on the bill. I have this one playing right now while I sit between the speakers in my computer room posting music for your Sunday Morning Jazz...

Composer, Player, Innovator, Jazz Icon, Legend Wayne Shorter has died at the age of 89. No cause of death was given. Wayne Shorter is/was/always will be one of my favorite Jazz Musicians Of All Time. From his work with Miles Davis to his days in Weather Report to his solo endeavors and his many projects with Herbie Hancock, the man is nothing less than Phenomenal!! He has the awards to prove it too! From Downbeat's Reader's Poll's New Star Saxophonist in 1962, his 1st Grammy Award, with Weather Report Best Jazz Fusion Performance in 1979 for their 8:30 album. He won a Best Improvised Jazz Solo Grammy in 2023 for his track "Endangered Species". Wayne had retired from the road due to heath conditions that made it to hard to do so in 2018 but kept recording till he couldn't anymore (respect, much respect). His presence in the Jazz World will be sorely missed.

What can I say about The Legendary Herbie Hancock that I haven't said already. For that matter the same goes for Wayne Shorter and Dave Holland. There are 17 Herbie Hancock related shows on the site (here), 10 Wayne Shorter related shows (here), and a staggering 21 Dave Holland related shows (here). So I am going to concentrate my comments on the awe inspiring performance on the drums by Brian Blade. Brian Blade has recorded/performed with more Jazz artists than I want to name here but Chick Corea, Joshua Redman, Brad Mehldah & Daniel Lanois have all used Brian for drums. Brian is the perfect anchor for the wandering improvisation that Herbie, Wayne & Dave want to present here. The man can go from powerhouse to soft inflections on a dime. The intricacies are superbly accented & supported by Brian's playing. This is another show from the quartets Forensic Music Tour. If you want more the 1st one posted on the site can be found (here).
