REDMAN - MEHLDAU - MCBRIDE - BLADE A MOODSWING REUNION Joshua Redman, tenor sax; Brad Mehldau, piano; Christian McBride, double bass; Brian Blade, drums “A MoodSwing Reunion" is a reunion of old friends: Joshua Redman, Brad Mehldau, Christian McBride and Brian Blade, names capable of attracting the attention of the whole jazz community. It was in fact they, at the turn of the nineties and the 2000s, who defined, paraphrasing Ornette Coleman, the form of jazz of the future. And they did so by trying their hand at a variety of expressive contexts. It was Redman who brought this line up together: it is in fact the quartet with which he recorded his third album as a leader: MoodSwing (1994, Warner Bros.), one of the fundamental jazz records of the nineties, consecration of talent, of aesthetics music and the creativity of four musicians who today are considered among the most important masters of international jazz. At the time, the Redman quartet stayed together for about a year and a half. In reforming itself, for the release of RoundAgain (2020, Nonesuch), leadership has become collective: an inevitable evolution given the maturation of the personalities involved. In almost thirty years things have happened: each of these musicians, then simply young promises, has become an undisputed master. Just think of Mehldau, who at the time had not yet made his debut as a leader on record but who in a few years would have changed the rules of the game with the flurry of volumes of The Art of the Trio . Blade too would make his debut on record only a few years later, as well as rewriting the ranking of the best jazz drummers from the moment he joined Wayne Shorter in 2000. McBride, albeit very young, had already made it clear that he belonged to the elite of the double bass: his dazzling career as a leader also began in 1994. @SamuelABudiono #SamuelABudiono #Music #Architecture #MusicArchitecture (at Teatro EuropAuditorium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkZqHMxoHO9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
