    There was a thread here when Maynard Ferguson passed away so I assume that there are some jazz fans here who might know who Dewey Redman is.

    Dewey was one of the greatest Avant-Garde saxophonists. He was born in Fort Worth and went to college at Prairie View A&M and North Texas. He was an influential part of groups led by Ornette Coleman, Keith Jarrett, and Charlie Haden.

    He is also the father of tenor saxophonist Joshua Redman.

    He was 75.
