*Joshua Redman Quartet*
One of the most celebrated saxophonists of his generation returns to Toronto with a brand-new quartet.
“Joshua Redman has delivered his finest recording to date. And that’s saying something.” —DownBeat
Joshua Redman returns to Toronto with a fresh new quartet and a sound that’s as soulful as it is spontaneous. Known for his charisma, Redman brings both tenor and soprano saxophone to life in a way few can. Fresh off the release of his 2025 album Words Fall Short, praised by critics for its creativity and group chemistry, Redman continues to push jazz in bold new directions.
In this show, he is joined by three outstanding rising stars: Paul Cornish on piano, Philip Norris on bass, and Nazir Ebo on drums. Together, they create a powerful musical conversation that honours jazz traditions while boldly exploring new ideas.

Reviews
“Under Redman’s direction, Cornish, Norris, and Ebo comprise a listening chamber that marries elegance with kinetic energy…an album of subtle power, emotional clarity, and harmonic warmth, brimming with the human fragility that language can never fully capture.” —The Jazz WORD
“Elegant, deeply emotional, and seemingly understated, the end result is somewhat akin to a provocative singer-songwriter, suggesting that we ask ourselves just where the current state of America is and where are we in relation to it. In that sense the geographic theme assumes much more gravitas, the album becoming far more than simply a pleasing set of ballads.” —Glide Magazine
“Technical levels are high, stylistic references broad, and moods are subtle and bittersweet.” —The Financial Times UK
“A quietly astonishing landscape where the Berkeley saxophonist has never ventured before.” —San Jose Mercury Times
