A Fireside Chat with Brad Mehldau
by AAJ Staff
Jazz is a fickle sonance, often dogmatic and always insistent. One moment, favoring celebrity and the next, consuming the very identity that allowed for such acclaim, jazz is not unlike life. A beacon of musical sincerity among the modern mercenaries, Brad Mehldau (unedited and in his own words) has an incorruptibility that jazz nor Hollywood could ...
Brad Mehldau: Anything Goes
by Rich Friedman
With Anything Goes a more mature, reflective Brad Mehldau is back where he started almost seven years ago with his trio soulmates, Jorge Rossy (drums) and Larry Grenadier (bass). On their sixth trio disc, there aren’t any original tunes, but Mehldau is at his best expanding old favorites such as “Nearness of You,” “Anything ...
Brad Mehldau's Opening, Middle and Endgame
by Mike Brannon
Regardless of how long we've lived, some remain unaffected by self awareness, some with just enough to feel what they wish they couldn't and others find themselves immersed in both a keen awareness of their place and plight as well as a potential, bittersweet, transcendent ecstasy, just out of reach---Sehnsucht. And a very few have all ...

Brad Mehldau: Largo
by Joe Lazar
Brad Mehldau has had quite a load on his shoulders since he burst on the scene in 1994. He is the latest pianist--and perhaps the most fit--to wear the title “next Bill Evans." And in light of Mehldau's work with rhythm section Jorge Rossi and Larry Grenadier on the acclaimed Art of the Trio series, the ...

A Fireside Chat With Jason Moran
by AAJ Staff
Frankly, I am not qualified to offer up an opinion of improvised music. And I am confident that no one outside the artists themselves are truly qualified. So my approach to Firesides has always been to never be presumptuous enough to interpret the artist's words or offer up context to them. Instead, I have always done ...
Brad Mehldau: Progression: Art of the Trio, Volume 5
by David Adler
Brad Mehldau interrupted his ongoing Art of the Trio series with last year's anomalous Places. Now the series resumes with Progression, a live double-disc package containing 136 minutes of music. Like Mehldau's previous live records, this one features a great deal of stretching out. Loosely speaking, disc one focuses on standards, including up-tempo versions of “The ...
The Brad Mehldau Trio: Progression - Art Of The Trio, Volume 5
by Glenn Astarita
Pianist Brad Mehldau’s self proclaimed “Art of the Trio” decree continues with this 2-CD set, recorded live at New York City’s infamous “Village Vanguard” establishment featuring his longtime associates, bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jorge Rossy, as the band continues its temperate yet deterministic assault on jazz piano trio fare. The musicians launch the proceedings with ...
