Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on February 01, 1969)

Happy birthday, Joshua Redman! You've dazzled us ever since your big win at the 1991 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Saxophone Competition—let's face it, while others were practicing scales, you practically composed symphonies with just one breath. From lighting up stages worldwide to releasing acclaimed albums like "RoundAgain," you've kept jazz hipper than an espresso-drinking cat at midnight.

As another year swings by (quite literally in your case), may every note stay smooth and spontaneous—and may Nonesuch Records continue cherishing their golden goose of groove. Here's wishing a timeless legend plenty more solo-filled birthdays… minus unexpected squeaky reeds!
