	Musicians - Joshua Redman

Joshua Redman (born February 1, 1969) is a prominent jazz saxophonist who records for Nonesuch Records. Born in Berkeley, California, he is a graduate of Berkeley High School . Then in 1991 he graduated summa cum laude from Harvard University, where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa Society.

Redman won the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Saxophone Competition the same year and began focusing on his musical career. Redman, the son of tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman, continued to develop his style through the 1990s, beginning with a sideman appearance on his father's 1992 record Choices. On his sophomore effort as a leader, Wish, he was joined by a notable lineup consisting of guitarist Pat Metheny, bassist Charlie Haden, and drummer Billy Higgins. He continued to work with various quartets until forming a new trio, Elastic, with keyboardist Sam Yahel and drummer Brian Blade.

In addition to his efforts with Elastic, he is the artistic director of San Francisco's SF Jazz Collective, which is considered by many to be an emerging geographic and philosophic rival to the stylistically neo-classicist Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra under the direction of Wynton Marsalis.
