From Boston Globe correspondent Jon Garelick:
JOSHUA REDMAN The current tour by this exciting performer will follow the release of “where are we,” on Sept. 15, with each of the songs making reference “to a specific geographical location (city or state or region) in the United States.” (Interesting mash-ups include Count Basie’s “Goin’ to Chicago” and Sufjan Stevens’s “Chicago.”) The band will include Redman on saxophones, pianist Aaron Parks, bassist Joe Sanders, drummer Brian Blade, and singer Gabrielle Cavassa. Another show, at the ICA, Sept. 29, is all but sold out, so don’t sit on this one. Oct. 1 at 7 p.m. $50-$72. Shalin Liu Performance Center, Rockport. 978-546-7391, rockportmusic.org
