Wordy Gurdy Man
by Jeff Fitzgerald, Genius
It has been said that if Bill Evans were alive today, he'd be clawing desperately at the inside of his coffin. If you were of a mind to, you could delve deeper into that statement and see it as a validation of the current state of Our Music, that the legendary pianist would be keen on ...

Brad Mehldau Trio: House on Hill
by John Kelman
Since drummer Jorge Rossy left pianist Brad Mehldau's trio sixteen months ago, words like “refreshed" and “reinvigorated" have been used to describe the impact of the more malleable Jeff Ballard on Mehldau's trio with bassist Larry Grenadier. But it's all too easy to forget just how fresh the original trio was, and that its swan song, ...
Brad Mehldau: House On Hill
by Troy Collins
Recorded between 2002 and 2005, House On Hill is the final studio album by pianist Brad Mehldau's long-running original trio.

Brad Mehldau Trio: Day Is Done
by Andrew Velez
Since the early '90s, Brad Mehldau's considerable output has most consistently been in the trio format. Especially notable were the five volumes of The Art of the Trio. Making his debut here with the new unit is drummer Jeff Ballard, who replaces Jorge Rossy; Larry Grenadier holds down his accustomed spot on bass. This is “friendly ...
Brad Mehldau Trio: Day is Done
by John Kelman
Sometimes it's not a good idea to mess with a good thing. Pianist Brad Mehldau's trio has remained stable since emerging on the scene in the mid-1990s, giving it time to evolve and establish the kind of chemistry that's only possible with a long-term relationship. But as freshly innovative as albums including his five memorable Art ...
Brad Mehldau: Live in Tokyo
by Peter Aaron
Detractors of pianist Brad Mehldau say his notoriety is merely a case of arriving at the right the time, of simply being the most visible Bill Evans disciple to come along in thirty-five years.
