Cory Wong feat. Joshua Redman — The Blue Note, New York, 2025

Why this recording

Posted by Cory Wong himself, the video ties in with a limited vinyl edition and carries his signature throughout: he produced, mixed and mastered it, with Miles Hanson recording and Carter Brice on video. The club format shows in the length of the pieces, eight tunes in just over an hour, with “Bogatell” running past nine minutes as the opener. The keyboard split is worth following: Taylor Eigsti on Rhodes, Kevin Gastonguay on organ, and a Wurlitzer played by Devon Yesberger on “Yessir” alone, the closing number.

Filmed live at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York, this concert captures guitarist Cory Wong during his November 2025 week-long residency at the storied Greenwich Village room, joined by acclaimed jazz saxophonist Joshua Redman. Wong, the Minneapolis funk-jazz guitarist known for his crisp, staccato rhythm playing and his association with Vulfpeck, trades his large-scale stage productions for an intimate club setting, leaning into groove-driven interplay with a tight ensemble. Redman, one of the most respected saxophonists of his generation, guested on the residency’s opening nights (November 4-6, 2025), and the recordings from these shows were later issued as the live album On A Random Tuesday: Live At The Blue Note. The set moves through Wong originals and collaborative pieces including “Bogatell,” “Brixton Underground,” “Four Nations” and “Yessir,” backed by keyboardists Taylor Eigsti and Kevin Gastonguay, bassist Yohannes Tona and drummer Petar Janjic. The performance highlights the meeting of Wong’s funk precision with Redman’s improvisational depth, documented in a filmed live concert that brings the energy of a New York jazz club to the screen. A concise, faithful record of a notable 2025 Blue Note engagement.
