Rhapsody and Rhythm on a Firm Foundation
Brad Mehldau has a warm, pliable, softly radiant touch at the piano, suggestive of waning sunlight or certain precious metals.

by Dan McClenaghan
FlyAthenaeum Jazz at the Neurosciences InstituteLa Jolla, CaliforniaApril 18, 2009It appeared an inauspicious venue for a jazz concert--a mile from Interstate Five in La Jolla, California, not in the village's quaint and stylish old sea-side downtown, but rather snugged in a tract of blocky and nondescript industrial type buildings housing a ...

Fly: Sky & Country
by John Kelman
Despite a debut that failed to generate much noise, Fly's sophomore effort--its first for ECM- -ought to.

Dave Holland's Triplicate (ECM, ...
