Joshua Redman
Joshua Redman Quartet
Tuesday, November 3, 2026
7:30 PM
*AT SCRIPPS RESEARCH AUDITORIUM*
The Athenaeum Jazz Fall 2026 Series opens at the Scripps Research Auditorium on Tuesday, November 3, with an Athenaeum debut by one of the great saxophonists of our time, Joshua Redman, bringing his own quartet to San Diego for the first time in 15 years.
The band features pianist Paul Cornish (whose trio appeared at the Athenaeum in January 2026), bassist Philip Norris, and drummer Nazir Ebo. Redman’s public career was launched in 1991 with his win of the Thelonious Monk International Saxophone Competition. His early apprenticeships included gigs with Charlie Haden, Elvin Jones, Jack DeJohnette, Joe Lovano, McCoy Tyner, Clark Terry, Milt Jackson, and his father, Dewey Redman, to name just a few. And his youthful associations with Brad Mehldau, Christian McBride, and Brian Blade continue to this day. His 10 albums as leader have won him international critical acclaim, including his latest, “Words Fall Short” (2025).
With a career now spanning over three decades, Joshua Redman is a vital force in contemporary jazz. A bridge between tradition and innovation, performance and mentorship, intellect and emotion. His music continues to invite listeners into a world where every note tells a story, and every beat becomes a shared moment of human connection.
The concert will be in person at the Scripps Research Auditorium (110620 John Jay Hopkins Dr, San Diego, CA 92121). There are no physical tickets for these events. Your name will be on an attendee list at the front door. Doors open at 7 p.m. Seating is first-come; first-served. Priority seating will be given to Donor level members and above.
