Widely revered as the greatest jazz saxophonist of his generation, Joshua Redman returns following his sold-out Koerner Hall concert last season with a brand new project.

Redman’s new album where are we marks his first-ever with a vocalist – the mesmerizing Gabrielle Cavassa. Co-winner of the 2021 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition, Cavassa is an enthralling emerging musician whose artistry is as influenced by Amy Winehouse as by Billie Holiday.

Saxman Joshua Redman joins forces with mesmerizing vocalist Gabrielle Cavassa on his celebrated Blue Note debut where are we. Redman calls where are we “a meditation on America and the power and importance of place.” The artists take on music from Rodgers & Hart to Springsteen, interpreted with the improvisational brilliance and melodic invention that is a hallmark of Redman’s artistry.

Where We Are is a musical journey across the United States of America that also marks Redman’s first-ever album featuring a vocalist—the dynamic young singer Gabrielle Cavassa. The album makes reference to specific geographical locations like Bruce Springsteen’s “Streets of Philadelphia,” Count Basie’s “Going To Chicago,” Rodgers & Hart’s “Manhattan,” John Coltrane’s “Alabama, ”Baltimore” and more.

For Joshua Redman, the search for new sounds often flows from his most enduring musical relationships. In assembling the quintet for his 2023 album Where Are We the Berkeley saxophone star turned to an all-star cast of players with whom he’s shaped the contemporary jazz scene for some three decades.

Since making a name for himself in Redman’s 1994 MoodSwing quartet, Brian Blade has become one of the era’s definitive drummers. They’ve maintained a close working relationship over the years though their collaborations accelerated with the Ornette Coleman/Dewey Redman-inspired quartet Still Dreaming and the reassembled MoodSwing quartet with Brad Mehldau and Christian McBride.
