    Joshua Redman, Brad Mehldau Duo "Works at the Highest Level," Raves The Australian, "Full of Delight, Surprise, Even Ecstasy"

    Joshua Redman and Brad Mehldau were in Australia last week for a brief duo tour, including two concerts in Sydney for the 2012 Sydney Festival and one in Melbourne. Mehldau's "capacity for setting up a steady rhythm at fast pace was mesmerising, helping to drive Redman's playing on tenor and soprano to delirious heights," says The Australian of Friday's Sydney show. "It works at the highest level and is deeply human: full of delight, surprise, even ecstasy." The Brisbane Times gives Saturday's Melbourne show four stars: "It was playing of the highest order."
