The Brad Mehldau Trio—Mehldau on piano, Larry Grenadier on bass, and Jeff Ballard on drums—launches a tour of the United States and Europe ahead of the forthcoming album Blues and Ballads, due June 3.

The group then heads to Europe for shows in Italy, Belgium, Denmark, France, and Switzerland.

See below for all of the currently announced Trio tour dates; for all the latest, as well as details on Mehldau's upcoming solo shows and his tour with a trio of a different sort (his Mehliana partner Mark Guiliana and guitarist John Scofield), visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

Blues and Ballads is the Trio’s first new release since 2012’s Where Do You Start. As with that album, which was met with critical acclaim and earned the band and ECHO Jazz Award for Best International Ensemble, Blues and Ballads comprises interpretations of songs by other composers, this time with the focus on blues and ballads implied by the album’s title, including works by Cole Porter, Charlie Parker, Lennon & McCartney, and Jon Brion. The album is available for pre-order now at iTunes and in the Nonesuch Store, where CD and vinyl orders include a download of the album track "Little Person" now and of the complete album on release day.

    Kronos Quartet Collection Acquired by Library of Congress

    The Library of Congress has acquired the collection of manuscripts, instruments, costumes, video and audio recordings, and more from Kronos Quartet and its non-profit organization, Kronos Performing Arts Association. “It’s gratifying to know that Kronos’ legacy will be preserved in perpetuity alongside the manuscripts and other treasures of so many other influential musicians from the US and around the world," said KPAA Executive Director Janet Cowperthwaite. "We are perhaps even more excited to reflect upon all the musicians and scholars who will have access to these materials in years to come, informing their own work and carrying Kronos’ inspiration and influence into the future.” The Library also appointed Kronos founder, artistic director, and violinist David Harrington as the Kluge Chair in Modern Culture and inducted Kronos’ 1992 album Pieces of Africa into the National Recording Registry.
