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 release of the new album Seymour Reads the Constitution!, due May 18 on Nonesuch Records. The group's "performances are models of concision," says the Chicago Reader, "muscle rippling through the prettiness and refined communication keeping each composition masterful." The tour begins at the Manship Theatre in Baton Rouge tonight, followed by shows in Texas, Colorado, Utah, New York, and Massachusetts, including a three-night, six-set residency at Scullers Jazz Club in Boston. The group heads to Europe in May for shows in Berlin, Dublin, Amsterdam, Rome, Prague, and more.

"Each successive display of Mehldau's gifts," says All About Jazz in a four-and-a-half star review of his newly released solo album, After Bach, "generates absolute wonder. With equal facility, the pianist manages to adopt a lilting grace even as he probes so deeply into his material."

    The original cast album of Adam Guettel’s Broadway musical Days of Wine and Roses, with a book by Craig Lucas, starring Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James, will be released on CD on May 17, following its recent digital release.  “Repeated listenings compound the amazement,” the New York Times says of Guettel’s work, which “has always offered that kind of challenge—initially leaving a feeling of: Beautiful, but wait, I need to hear it again—and those up for it have a way of coming away shining like Moses down from the Mount. The new score has the same effect.”
