Joshua Redman Quartet--a 1991 Harvard graduate, Redman just completed his first album with Red Rodney, Kenny Barron and Grady Tate. Harvard Professor Graeme Boone might say his music is "hot." He will perform with Johnny King, piano; Paul LaDuka, bass; and Clarence Penn, drums. Charles Hotel, One Bennett St., Cambridge. Tuesday...
