Brad Mehldau’s acclaimed 2002 Jon Brion–produced album Largo, which turned 20 last year, will receive its first-ever vinyl release, on Nonesuch Records on June 16. The 2LP black vinyl edition is available to pre-order now. Mehldau experiments with electronic instrumentation on this set of original and borrowed tunes, including Radiohead’s “Paranoid Android” and The Beatles’ “Dear Prudence.” "Gorgeous and brilliant,” raved the Boston Globe. “Mehldau has crafted a new-jazz soundscape that bursts with pop smarts."
