Brad Mehldau Trio: Ode

Apr 10, 3:00am PopMatters
A fine trio returns to recording with a book of alive, searching original tunes. Piano, bass, and drums. In modern jazz, that is the pedestal, the bandstand, the foundation. A million bands build from there, and a million bands play pretty much the same way. But the infinite number of rhythm sections in jazz has also produced a flowering of variety and subtlety, from the crashing swirl of Matthew Shipp's trio to the elegant intelligence of Bill Charlap's trio to the daring momentum of the Vijay Iyer Trio.

Solar from Live at Birdland by Lee Konitz, Brad Mehldau, Charlie Haden, and Paul Motian

Aug 18, 2011, 11:00am 1146 miles
Solar from Live at Birdland by Lee Konitz, Brad Mehldau, Charlie Haden, and Paul Motian Bassist Charlie Haden was there at the very beginning of this thing we call "free" jazz. He played on Ornette Coleman's seminal The Shape of Jazz to Come in 1959. Live at Birdland (released this June) shows the other side of what "free" can mean. Saxophonist Lee Konitz, pianist Brad Mehldau, drummer Paul Motian, and Haden present beautiful deconstructions of some classic jazz standards (including "Lover Man" made famous by Billie Holiday, "I Fall in Love Too Easily" sung by Frank Sinatra, and "Oleo" by Sonny Rollins). This performance shows four great improvisers exploring the limits [...]

Lee Konitz, Brad Mehldau, Charlie Haden, Paul Motian: Live at Birdland

Jul 25, 2011, 2:00am PopMatters
Lee Konitz, Brad Mehldau, Charlie Haden, Paul Motian: Live at Birdland A December 2009 date in New York: Standards but not standard playing. The 83-year-old alto saxophonist Lee Konitz is a man out of time. He came of age amidst bebop, he seemed to embody the "cool" sound of the 1950s, and he later embraced a singular style of '60s or '70s "free jazz", yet he isn't limited by any of those identities. In recent years, Konitz has made it clearer than ever that pigeonholing him (or, critics like me be damned, any artist, really) is a mistake,...

Lee Konitz, Brad Mehldau, Charlie Haden, Paul Motian – Live At Birdland (CD)

Jun 17, 2011, 5:35pm NeuFutur Magazine
The Live At Birdland release captures two days worth of performances by a group consisting of Konitz (alto saxophone), Mehldau (piano), Haden (double-bass) and Motian (drums). It is an important album as it shows the ease in which a talented group can move between a studio and a live setting, with each of the tracks [...]

Download: John Mayer – Live at the Hollywood Bowl Bootleg

Sep 15, 2010, 7:17am Swear I'm Not Paul
A few weeks ago I posted up a video of John Mayer with Brad Mehldau performing a stunning cover of the Verve's 'Bittersweet Symphony'. Thanks to the taper Duh Vid, the entire show has been made available to download as an mp3 bootleg (or FLAC if you're picky like that). Sample a few songs, and then grab the whole show.

Chicago Jazz Festival gets a makeover

May 6, 2010, 1:47pm loudloop
Chicago Jazz Festival gets a makeover The Chicago Tribune reported earlier this week that the 32nd annual Chicago Jazz Festival , which kicks off on August 31 and runs through September 5, will get quite a makeover due to city budget cuts. The Grant Park portions of the Chicago Jazz Festival will be trimmed to two days, September 4 and 5, but the event planners have turned this potential setback into a major positive by setting up a week of jazz festivities at Millennium Park, the Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies and the Chicago Cultural Center.

Flashback Friday: Brad Mehldau

Dec 11, 2009, 11:53am Guilt Free Pleasures
Brad Mehldau is an amazing jazz pianist who, despite his creative originals, is quite well known for his fantastic covers. Recorded in 1998 on his The Art of the Trio Volume 3: Songs album, Mehldau's cover of Radiohead's "Exit Music (For A Film)" remains to be my favorite Radiohead cover of all time.Exit Music (For A Film) Brad Mehldau Cover [mp3] (iTunes)
