Brad Mehldau Trio Box Set Shows Why Mehldau Is Among "True Masters of the Jazz Piano" (Jambands)
Brad Mehldau is set to perform an intimate solo set in Washington, DC, this weekend. The Washington City Paper says: "His performances are wondrous, and this one promises to be no different." The Washington Post, reviewing the new Brad Mehldau Trio box set The Art of the Trio Recordings: 1996-2001, cites "an intuitive and highly interactive level of performance" in the set. JazzTimes says the retrospective offers "a fresh vantage point on a body of music by enabling the listener to experience it whole. The best art requires time to release all of its revelations." Jambands calls it "a solid reminder why Brad Mehldau has earned his place amongst the true masters of the jazz piano."
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.
