Joshua Redman will open the Oslo Jazz Festival 2025 together with the 25th-anniversary Trondheim Jazz Orchestra and Eirik Hegdal, a collaboration that continues to spark excitement nearly 20 years after its debut. This will take place at Cosmopolite on Monday, August 11th at 18.00.
On Wednesday, August 13th, there will be a thrilling meeting with a quartet featuring Redman on saxophone, Bugge Wesseltoft on piano, Arild Andersen on bass, and Per Oddvar Johansen on drums. Four giants will finally reunite on stage after many years. The concert will take place at the University Aula at 18.00.
The concert series concludes with Redman and Gard Nilssen Acoustic Unity at the National Jazz Scene on Thursday, August 14 at 21.00 PM. Previously, Redman has only made a short guest appearance with Acoustic Unity, which, according to rumours, set both sides on fire. Now, we will finally hear a full concert with this dream collaboration.
