The tour features music from the duo’s debut album, Mehliana: Taming the Dragon, which Jazzwise calls “one of the best albums of 2014.” The album earned four stars from the Guardian and MusicOMH, which calls it “wholly absorbing ... an intuitive, compelling dialogue between the two musicians.” Mehldau is nominated for International Instrumentalist of the Year, Piano/Keyboards, for the album.
