“[Redman is] one of the most vital figures in jazz of the new century.”

—Los Angeles Times

As one of the most compelling and fearless saxophone voices in jazz, Joshua Redman continually recharges his creative juices and inquisitive spirit through a range of innovative ensembles. He has released 11 critically acclaimed albums and performed or recorded with countless legends—including his father, Dewey Redman. From 2004 to 2007, Redman was the artistic director of the SFJAZZ Collective, an all-star ensemble with a commitment to jazz as a living, ever-changing and ever-relevant art form. Following his electronica and experimental rock influenced albums Elastic and Momentum, Redman has returned to his roots of the acoustic trio. His most recent Grammy® nominated release, Back East, is a deeply personal exploration of the musical, historical and philosophical juxtaposition of Eastern and Western cultures. He incorporates a stunningly wide range of ideas, experiences and influences into his music, which glimmers through the intense and exhilarating interplay of his acoustic trio. Vermont’s jazz programs provide stellar burgeoning musicians the chance to master their craft and the Vermont All State Jazz Ensemble features the best of the best. It is a Discover Jazz honor and tradition to present these stars of tomorrow.
