Joshua Redman is joined by trumpeter Ron Miles, bassist Scott Colley, and drummer Brian Blade—collectively billed as Still Dreaming—for the culminating shows of a New York Timesrecommended six-night residency at Jazz Standard in New York City, with 7:30pm and 9:30pm sets tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday. The group’s name references Old and New Dreams, a famed ensemble led by Joshua Redman’s late father Dewey in tribute to Ornette Coleman.

Redman is up for a Grammy Award for his work with The Bad Plus on the quartet’s eponymous album released last year. The Bad Plus Joshua Redman landed on a number of year-end-best lists, including Mojo’s Top 10 Jazz Albums of 2015 and PopMatters’s The Best Jazz of 2015, on which it landed the number one spot.

Timo Andres is joined by violinist Yevgeny Kutik for the world premiere performance of Andres’s new work Words Fail, as well as works by Stravinsky and Nico Muhly, at the Phillips Collection in Washington, DC, on Sunday.

Olivia Chaney is in Glasgow as part of the Celtic Connections festival this weekend, joining Dick Gaughan, Karine Polwart, Julie Fowlis, Annie Grace, and guitarist Larry Carlton for PILGRIMER, a re-imagining of Joni Mitchell’s 1976 album Hejira, at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, on Saturday. Chaney also gives a solo set at the Glasgow Art Club for Celtic Connections on Sunday.

Chaney’s Nonesuch debut, The Longest River, was featured on several Best of 2015 lists, with the Independent calling it “the most absorbing folk album of the year.” The Bluegrass Situation recently placed Chaney on its list of New Wave of UK Folk: 5 Artists You Need to Know, saying: "The Longest River is a delight of an album, filled with concise, thoughtful songs that are lovely to unpack and discover." She will perform at the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, Tennessee, this spring.

Jeremy Denk, following a three-night residency with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, last weekend, heads west for three performances with the San Diego Symphony, performing Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto, among other works, at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts tonight, and the Copley Symphony Hall in San Diego tomorrow night and Sunday afternoon. 

The Pioneer Press was on site for last Friday’s show with the SPCO, where critic Rob Hubbard praised the chemistry between Denk and the orchestra. They made “one lovely segue after another between brisk and meditative, staccato and soft,” writes Hubbard. “Especially engaging were Denk's cadenzas, when he played up the playfulness in the music, scampering, stopping, starting and hinting at false endings straight out of the Haydn joke book.”

Richard Goode, following a performance with the Orchestre National de Lyon in France earlier this week, gives a solo piano recital of works by Bach at the Auditorium Orchestre National de Lyon on Saturday afternoon.

---

Audra McDonald gives two rare performances in London on Sunday, with both a matinee and a sold-out evening shows at the Leicester Square Theatre.

It was just announced that McDonald will make her West End debut when she brings her portrayal of Billie Holiday in Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill in a limited run starting in June. The HBO presentation of the piece will premiere on March 12. She returns to Broadway in Shuffle Along this spring.
