This year on the final day of Annapolis Jazz & Roots Festival, Maryland Hall Presents Joshua Redman Quartet in the Main Theatre.

One of the defining voices of modern jazz comes to Maryland Hall.

With his latest Blue Note album, Words Fall Short, Joshua Redman unveils a powerful new chapter in his storied career—featuring a fresh quartet of rising stars and a collection of bold, previously unrecorded originals. The album, born from a year of live experimentation, highlights Redman’s signature lyricism, groove, and collaborative spirit.

Joined by pianist Paul Cornish, bassist Philip Norris, and drummer Nazir Ebo, Redman brings a dynamic and deeply human performance to the stage—celebrating improvisation, emotion, and the beauty of imperfection.

A jazz experience for the soul, the senses, and this moment.
