Joshua Redman ’91 is positively infuriating. The winner of the 2008 Harvard Arts Medal, he was that guy: the quintessential Harvard student, the one who cures rare diseases and can whip up a mean soufflé—or, in Redman??s case, solves the world’s social problems and plays a mean saxophone. Now, he is one of the world’s foremost jazz musicians, with a style that is at once poised and loose, technically excellent and creatively free. But technique and creativity haven’t always been...
...cites the example of Joshua S. Redman ’93, the jazz saxophonist who will receive this year’s Harvard Arts Medal, as an example of an important figure with whom many students might not be familiar. Everett says that many students who hear Redman??s name will react by saying he’s a famous saxophone player, but far more will have no clue who he is. “It’s a small group of people who are knowledgeable about the music, and maybe it’s always going...

...Gorrilaz put forth “Gorillaz On My Mind,” a playful track melding ape noises, Damon Albarn’s self-mocking “La-la-la-la”s off Blur’s “Charmless Man” and Redman??s charming lyrics like “Full of whiskey/ Looking for Lewinsky/ So I can get head.” Ever-captivating spastic Busta Rhymes joins Silkk the Shocker and a catchy bass riff courtesy of the Dub Pistols...
