This July 4th weekend in the United States, The Bad Plus Joshua Redman kicks off its European tour with, remarkably, back-to-back festival performances in two different countries on Saturday: at Love Supreme Jazz Festival in East Sussex, England, and Banco Sabadell Vijazz in Penedès, Spain, Saturday, followed by a set at La Défense Jazz Festival in Paris, France, on Sunday.

The quartet, whose self-titled debut album was released to critical acclaim on Nonesuch Records last month, unveiled a brief video earlier this week of the group recording at Brooklyn Recording studio as they made the album. You can watch the video, set to an excerpt of the album track “As This Moment Slips Away,” here.

Sam Amidon continues his North American tour with performances at Savoy du Métropolis for Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, both Saturday and Sunday evenings. Amidon recently met with MassLive at Wilco’s Solid Sound Festival, where he performed last weekend, for an interview and haunting take on the tune “Down the Line,” off his latest album, Lily-O. You can watch the performance and read what Amidon has to say here.

Jeremy Denk takes part in the Music Academy of the West festival, joining the Academy Festival Orchestra for a performance of Mozart’s Piano Concerto in D Minor, No. 20, at the Lobero Theater in Santa Barbara, California, Friday. In preview of the concert, the Santa Barbara Independent called the pianist “one of the most exciting performers of any kind on the planet right now, and his repertoire of ways to move an audience goes far beyond the piano.”

Jonny Greenwood joins London Contemporary Orchestra to perform music from three of his film scores—There Will Be Blood, The Master, and Norwegian Wood—as well as works from fellow contemporary composers Philip Glass, Michael Gordon, and Iannis Xenakis, at Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport for Open’er Festival in Gdynia, Poland, Friday night. This is the third time the Greenwood’s work has been featured at the festival: in 2012, AUKSO Orchestra and Greenwood’s longtime hero Krzysztof Penderecki performed selections from a Nonesuch album of works by both composers, and in 2013, the guitarist himself appeared to perform Steve Reich’s Electric Counterpoint, later recorded for the 2014 Nonesuch album Radio Rewrite.

Lianne La Havas kicks off a brief US tour with a set at Essence Festival at the Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday, followed by sold-out shows in Los Angeles and New York next week. She performs songs from her upcoming album, Blood, due later this month on Nonesuch. Of her new single, “What You Don’t Do,” USA Today remarked that it “should immediately become a summer-playlist staple.” La Havas returns to the States this fall as part of a month-long North American tour.

Brad Mehldau kicks off a European tour with his trio—bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jeff Ballard—with three festival sets this weekend: at Kongsberg Jazzfestival in Kongsberg, Norway, Friday, Copenhagen Jazz Festival Saturday, and Charlie Jazz Festival in Vitrolles, France, Sunday. The tour continues for the next two weeks, culminating at Festival de Jazz in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, July 16.
