With a dozen recordings under his own name the late Dewey Redman established himself as one of the more prolific tenor players of his generation. Though generally associated with free jazz (with an unusual, distinctive technique of sometimes humming into his saxophone as he played), Redman's melodic tenor playing always conveyed a deep understanding of blues and had strong ties to the post-bop mainstream. Redman's live shows were as likely to feature standards and ballads as the more atonal improvisations for which he was known.

Twin Cities drummer, educator and band leader Phil Hey played and toured with Dewey for many years, and with pianist  Bryan Nichols, bassist Gordon Johnson and woodwind master Pete Whitman, will pay tribute to this great artist by playing a number of his tunes.
