This long Labor Day Weekend in the US, the Detroit Jazz Festival welcomes back Nonesuch artists Joshua Redman and Pat Metheny for free sets at the famed downtown Detroit event.

Joshua Redman and the Still Dreaming quartet—drummer Dave King, bassist Scott Colley, and cornetist Ron Miles—bring music from the 2018 self-titled album (which features Brian Blade on drums) at the festival’s Carhartt Amphitheater Stage on Labor Day Monday, following the close of the group’s European tour at Philharmonie de Paris on Saturday. Inspired by Dewey Redman's band Old and New Dreams, Still Dreaming is “consistenly riveting,” says the Washington Post. Sun on Sand, on which Joshua Redman performs music by Patrick Zimmerli with Brooklyn Rider, Colley, and drummer Satoshi Takeishi, is due October 4 on Nonesuch.

Pat Metheny plays two shows at the Detroit Jazz Festival: a duo set with bassist Ron Carter at Carhartt Amphitheater Stage on Sunday and a set with his Side Eye trio—pianist James Francies and drummer Marcus Gilmore—at JPMorgan Chase Main Stage on Monday. Metheny and the Side Eye trio perform at the Kent Stage in Kent, Ohio, tonight and Sweetwater Performance Pavilion in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on Saturday.
