Artist Name: Joshua Redman Artist Biography: Son of avant-garde legend Dewey, Joshua Redman (b. 2/1/69) has been among the most successful jazz musicians of his generation despite his initial hesitation to even pursue a career with saxophone in hand. A graduate of Harvard, debating whether to become a doctor or study law at Yale, Redman took first place at the 1991 Thelonious Monk competition and scored a record contract with Warner Brothers, immediately becoming a media darling. A leader since appearing on the scene, Redman has recorded extensively under his own name. By bringing together his influences and reflecting them through his intelligent persona, the gracious Redman has arrived at a formula for success as a jazz musician in the ´90s and beyond..
