Excellent article Mr. Kelman!! Your look at Mehldau and how he found a unique perspective - or voice, if you will - after studying the legendary jazz artists who came before him, was well put. It's still amazing to me how experienced he comes off on these recordings at a relatively young age.
I also appreciate and applaud your take on the Rossy-Ballard situation. You explained your stance nicely and are dead on when you write "sometimes it can just mean different."
You mention Rossy returned to Spain to study and refocus - do you know if we will be hearing more from him in the future?? Thanks again for a well written, thoughtful piece!!
