Joshua Redman Quartet

Acclaimed saxophonist Joshua Redman returns to Krannert Center for the first time in 10 years for a highly anticipated performance, celebrating a remarkable new chapter in his storied career. With a career spanning more than three decades, Redman continues to redefine jazz with curiosity and bold reinvention. Following the success of where are we on Blue Note Records—his first album to feature a vocalist and original lyrics—Redman now presents music from Words Fall Short, a deeply expressive exploration of human imperfection, connection, and the limits of language.

From his early breakthrough winning the Thelonious Monk International Saxophone Competition to collaborations with legends across genres, Redman’s artistry remains both expansive and intimate. This return performance promises an evening of emotional depth and fearless creativity—inviting audiences to experience the beauty found not just in words, but in the spaces between them.
