Joshua Redman & Brad Mehldau Duo
Thursday, April 15
Saxophonist Joshua Redman is one of the most acclaimed and charismatic jazz artists to have emerged in the 1990s. Pianist Brad Mehldau is first and foremost an improviser, and greatly cherishes the surprise and wonder that can occur from a spontaneous musical idea that is expressed, in real time. Together, they present an intense and memorable performance.
