About
Acclaimed saxophonist Joshua Redman makes his Blue Note debut with where are we, his first-ever vocal project which features vocalist Gabrielle Cavassa, pianist Aaron Parks, bassist Joe Sanders, and drummer Brian Blade plus special guests Nicholas Payton on trumpet, Kurt Rosenwinkel on guitar, Peter Bernstein on guitar, and Joel Ross on vibraphone. At its core the album is both a celebration and critique of America—each song is about a specific geographical location in the United States—but it is also, to varying degrees, a ballads album, a standards album, an album of romantic longing, an album of social reflection, an album of melodic invention, and an album of improvisational adventure.

November 2023
Such is the freshness of his music, the 54 year old has retained a youthful air of unpredictability… Redman has said that he was looking for a new musical role, not only as soloist and leader, but also as supportive accompanist and interlocutor. 'where are we' delivers on all counts
November 2023
What is something of a diversion for Redman turnes into one of the unexpected big hits of 2023.
