Brad Mehldau News

Some of jazz's finest, most innovative and adventurous music can be found in the piano trio format.

So an album of ballads makes obvious sense, and one with Brad Mehldau on piano and production was bound to have interesting choices of material.

This meeting of the two greatest piano trios in 21st century jazz made for a blissful night of rhythmically complex yet groove-laden improvisations.

Brad Mehldau , a New York-based jazz pianist who received his education at the New School, is a real-deal genius.

After witnessing Brad Mehldau wring magic from sources ranging from grunge rock to American folk, I'm starting to feel sorry for all the songs the brilliant pianist will never have the time or inclination to play.

I've become somewhat obsessed with singer-songwriter Nick Drake lately, which I guess is a good barometer of where my head is at currently.
