If so it will be a situation that he is all too familiar with, as strangely his reputation appears greater in Europe than at home, in spite of an extensive discography and collaborations with a who's who of contemporary experimental music.

by Dan McClenaghan
Call Brad Mehldau's Blues and Ballads the pianist's “Every Man Set."
