Generation-defining jazz musicians Joshua Redman, Brad Mehldau, Christian McBride, and Brian Blade reunite to perform music from their classic 1994 album, MoodSwing and forthcoming album LongGone.

Performing new material from their forthcoming album, LongGone along with tracks from their 1994 album, the jazz supergroup reunites for this very special show.

MoodSwing broke the mould for jazz recordings in the 1990s, creating a sound that reached beyond cerebral arrangements and delivered contemporary jazz with emotion and expression. The quartet is headed up by acclaimed saxophonist Joshua Redman, alongside pianist Brad Mehldau, bassist Christian McBride and composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist Brian Blade. Their sound is sophisticated yet spontaneous: rich, bluesy and contemporary.
