One of the most lyrical and intimate voices of contemporary jazz piano, Brad Mehldau has forged a unique path, which embodies the essence of jazz exploration, classical romanticism and pop allure. From critical acclaim as a bandleader to major international exposure in collaborations with Pat Metheny, Renee Fleming, and Joshua Redman, Mehldau continues to garner numerous awards and admiration from both jazz purists and music enthusiasts alike. His forays into melding musical idioms, in both trio and solo settings, has seen brilliant re-workings of songs by contemporary songwriters like The Beatles, Cole Porter, Radiohead, Paul Simon, Gershwin and Nick Drake; alongside the ever-evolving breath of his own significant catalogue of original compositions. With his self-proclaimed affection for popular music and classical training, "Mehldau is the most influential jazz pianist of the last 20 years" (The New York Times).

Joshua Redman Group featuring Gabrielle Cavassa

Jazz Vivace proudly presents the Joshua Redman Group as part of the Summer 2024 Jazz Series. For decades, the Blue Note label has epitomized excellence in jazz, and Joshua Redman upholds this tradition. With a career spanning thirty years, Redman, as a saxophonist, composer, and bandleader, consistently pushes the boundaries of jazz while staying true to its essence. His latest album, "Where Are We," marks his debut with Blue Note and showcases his evolution as an artist. Redman's decision to collaborate with a vocalist marks a departure from his previous work. Redman explores new musical territories by playing with Gabrielle Cavassa, a rising star in the jazz scene. The album's creation was influenced by the isolating conditions of the pandemic, with virtual planning sessions shaping its unique sound. "Where Are We?" takes listeners on a journey across the USA, blending different genres and generations. Redman and Cavassa offer a fresh perspective on American music through innovative mash-ups and reinterpretations of classics. The album features renowned musicians such as drummer Brian Blade and pianist Aaron Parks, who add depth and soul to Redman's compositions. Each track on "Where Are We" reflects a different aspect of American life, from the melancholy of "After Minneapolis" to the celebration of "This Land is Your Land." Redman's lyrical saxophone and Cavassa's emotive vocals guide listeners through a landscape of beauty, longing, and introspection. Ultimately, "Where Are We?" mediates the complexities of American identity. Redman invites listeners to contemplate the country's past, present, and future through music, leaving them inspired and enriched by his artistry.
