JVC Jazz Festival & LPR present: Soulive w/ Joshua Redman-6.27
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. In November of that year, five months after moving to New York, Redman was named the winner of the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Saxophone Competition. Now fully committed to a life in music, Redman was quickly signed by Warner Bros. Records and issued his first, self-titled album in the spring of 1993, which subsequently earned Redman his first of two Grammy nominations.
