LA Times: Brad Mehldau "At the Peak of His Powers," His New Album "One of the Most Striking Jazz Releases of the Year"

The Los Angeles Times says any solo set from Mehldau "promises to be an adventurous treat" and finds the pianist to be "at the peak of his powers," calling his latest album, Highway Rider, "one of the most striking jazz releases of the year."

Joshua Redman Begins Jazz Standard Residency Following Four-Star London Set (Guardian) with Brad Mehldau
Joshua Redman and his trio begin a five-night residency at New York's Jazz Standard tonight. The New York Times says to expect "plenty of dynamism in the exchange" from the trio; the Village Voice says that "Redman's authoritative these days, and he's taught his team how to keep lots of balls in the air at once." The Guardian gives four stars to the saxophonist's recent concert with Brad Mehldau in London and the Mehldau Trio's own show there, citing the pianist's "remarkable contrapuntal improvising style and incisive musical intelligence."
About this Album
These 15 MP3s contain the complete music—over three hours—from all three Friday-night sets of the Trio's October 2006 residency at the Village Vanguard featured on their two-disc Live album, including tunes by Thelonious Monk, Benny Goodman, Paul Simon, and Radiohead. The tracks "Fit Cat" and "Secret Beach" also appear on the Brad Mehldau Trio Live CD.
