Joshua Redman (born February 1, 1969) is a prominent American jazz saxophonist who records for Nonesuch Records.
Redman, who is Black and Jewish, was born in Berkeley, California. He is the son of jazz saxophonist Dewey Redman. 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 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 SFJAZZ 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.
Redman has also made a guest appearance on an episode of the TV show Arthur as the uncle of Francine, one of the main characters. The episode also depicts him in a boxing match against classic cellist Yo-Yo Ma

Experienced the Joshua Redman Trio (Joshua Redman: Saxophones, Reuben Rogers: Bass, Greg Hutchinson, Drums) at the 2009 Melbourne International Jazz Festival. These same players accompany Redman on his recent 'Compass' release. Not only can this man play the horn with passion and intensity but he has the most amazing 'moves'.

I'm Indonesian, and there's a song titled Indonesia in his back east album. The song's really good, Joshua plays in a pentatonic melody, a melody that commonly uses in our traditional Javanese songs. He plays damn well, and I'm proud he uses Indonesia as a title for that particular song. Thanks Josh!
