Fontana Series Opens With Joshua Redman and Brad Mehldau

Michael Wilson

Pianist Brad Mehldau and saxophonist Joshua Redman first performed together in Redman’s acclaimed quartet during the 1990s. In the next two decades, both Grammy-nominated musicians grew as leaders in their own ensembles. Now modern-day icons, they've reunited to tour with their new album, Nearness. 

David Baldwin, executive director of Fontana, talks to Cara Lieurance about Redman and Mehldau's histories and provides a sneak peek into their music as a duo. 

Fontana presents Redman and Mehldau on Saturday, September 24 at 7:30 pm. Details available at Fontana's website.
