MEHLDAU, BRAD

Brad Mehldau recently was described by The Washington Post as "one of his generation's most gifted and thoughtful pianists." On Brad Mehldau Live in Tokyo, he interprets material from artists as varied as George and Ira Gershwin, Theolonius Monk, Nick Drake, and Radiohead. The record was recorded during a recent solo performance in Japan.

Mehldau first came to the attention of jazz audiences in the early 1990s as a member of saxophonist Joshua Redman's quartet. He soon embarked on a recording career of his own, releasing ten critically acclaimed albums on during the last decade. Included among them are five volumes of his Art of the Trio series with bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jorge Rossy; a classically inspired solo studio disc, Elegiac Cycle; and Largo, an experimental outing with producer Jon Brion (Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple) that introduced electronic and subtle pop elements into Mehldau's approach.

Longtime fans of Mehldau's recordings with his celebrated trio are accustomed to such wide-ranging taste.
