The members of the legendary original 1990s Joshua Redman Quartet – Redman (saxophone), Brad Mehldau (piano), Christian McBride (bass), and Brian Blade (drums) – reunited after twenty-six years for 2020’s RoundAgain; they return now with LongGone, featuring six original songs by Redman, on Nonesuch Records.

RoundAgain, the group’s first recording since 1994’s MoodSwing, debuted at No. 1 on the Current Traditional Jazz Albums chart in the US and at No. 1 on the Jazz & Blues chart in the UK. The album received two Grammy nominations. NPR called it ‘a flawless effort’, stating that the four musicians have ‘only gotten better in that time’ and are each ‘at the very top of his game now’.

Redman says of his first group as a bandleader, which was together for approximately a year and a half: “I realised almost immediately that this band wouldn’t stay together for very long.  They were without a doubt, for our generation, among the most accomplished and innovative on their respective instruments. I knew better than anyone else just how incredibly lucky I was to have even that short time with them.”
