Joshua Redman live in Aspen

Experience Joshua Redman live on June 25th

Joshua Redman is scheduled to perform at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Aspen, Colorado on June 25, 2026. Redman is a highly acclaimed jazz saxophonist known for a style that blends harmonic sophistication with a strong rhythmic foundation, drawing from traditions of artists like Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane while incorporating elements of groove-based music and global influences. His work often features both original compositions and interpretations of classic jazz standards. He frequently leads both quartet and larger ensemble performances.

The Aspen Ideas Festival is an annual public forum held in Aspen, Colorado, dedicated to exploring ideas and issues shaping contemporary society. Established in 2005 by the Aspen Institute, the festival brings together thought leaders from various fields – including politics, science, business, arts, and culture – for discussions, debates, and performances. It’s characterized by its interdisciplinary approach and commitment to non-partisan dialogue. The 2026 festival will mark its twenty-second iteration. Past musical performers have spanned diverse genres reflecting the festival's broad intellectual scope; however, jazz has been a recurring element within the programming. The event generally takes place over ten days in late June.
