Charles Lloyd: Crossing the Waters Wide

Read "Charles Lloyd: Crossing the Waters Wide" reviewed by C. Andrew Hovan


From the time of “love-ins" and tie-dyed shirts to today's current jazz renaissance, Charles Lloyd has played a part in the multifaceted history of the music. His series of Atlantic sides in the '60s transfixed a young and impressionable audience by way of an intoxicating fusion of mysticism, rock rhythms and jazz improvisation, while also launching ...

Brad Mehldau: Art Of The Trio 4: Back At The Vanguard

Read "Art Of The Trio 4: Back At The Vanguard" reviewed by John Sharpe


In the liner notes for this fourth installment of Mehldau's Art Of The Trio series, Brad takes issue with the fact that many critics have compared his trio with that of Bill Evans. Well, critics are always looking for stylistic references to hang their hats on and I happened to agree with reviewers when they made ...

Brad Mehldau: Elegiac Cycle; Art of the Trio 4: Back at the Vanguard

Read "Elegiac Cycle; Art of the Trio 4: Back at the Vanguard" reviewed by David Adler


Some jazz musicians warn against excessive talk and analysis, insisting that the music be allowed to speak for itself. Brad Mehldau does not belong to this school of thought. Reading his self-authored, exhaustive (exhausting?) liner notes to both these albums, a critic might be tempted to throw up his hands and conclude that nothing more can ...

Brad Mehldau: The Art of the Trio, Vol. 3: Songs

Read "The Art of the Trio, Vol. 3: Songs" reviewed by Larry Koenigsberg


The newly renowned pianist, returning to the studio for this, his fourth American release, avoids the lengthy cadenzas which were an unusual, prominent and exciting feature of his last recording. He retains another of his distinguishing stylistic characteristics, though: witness the bravura counterpoint passage during his solo in “Unrequited." That said, the essential difference between this ...

Brad Mehldau: The Art of The Trio: Volume Two

Read "The Art of The Trio: Volume Two" reviewed by John Sharpe


Recorded live at New York's famous Village Vanguard, Art of The Trio, Vol. 2 is full of surprises and curious delights. Mehldau first came to prominence as a sideman in Joshua Redman's quartet but lately this classically trained pianist has garnered rave reviews on his own.
