Ballard's right hand ride provides the rhythmic wash upon which the whole magic carpet flies.

Our newest Jazz Piano giant - for sure!

I grew up knowing Brad. We were very good friends at one point. We had the same piano teacher - Ruth Horowitz - I’m from Hartford

The flow and the intensity... One of the best trios of our time.

So, this is funny: I always see comments about how some rando knew or knew of the celeb. This time it's true: knew of, that is. Mehldau was a year behind me at Hall High School in West Hartford. I don't think I ever spoke to him, but I do clearly recall a talent show appearance by him in which he started off with a Chopin-esque musing-exploration that he stretched out as long as he could till bursting without warning into a blistering bluesy rollick. To thunderous applause. Hall had a fantastic jazz program--Joel Frahm came out of that, too. I just went there--but being a drummer now I really wish I'd gotten that training back in the day. Wasn't allowed to play drums. Oh, well. :) Glad to see people making great music, for sure.

That version of knives out is just out this world. I love how Brad thanks the musicians afterwards..

I adore this man. How on Earth does he do it? No one plays like this. Only KJ comes close.

i just got blown away

JUSTE MAGNIFIQUE , quelle écoute entre ces musiciens...Quel respect en symbiose...(un batteur qui a joué avec Rhoda SCOTT en 1992 et avec d'autres grands artistes)

One of the super trios of all time

amazing!

This is really nice playing. I listen to a lot of Keith. This is the first time I feel like I'm getting Brad Mehldau a little bit. Also, and completely besides the point, Toulouse, La Ville Rose, is really beautiful. Lots of great memories from there.

Oh, this is great, thank you!

Thank you KT for posting this great music. Instant fix on a trying day!

wonderful performance. thanks for posting!

Fantastic performance, mesmerizing actually. Thanks so much for posting this gem.

Just awesome stuff thank you for your post

I don't think I've ever heard Jeff Ballard sound better than he does here. I love Jorge Rossy and I'm usually less fond of Mr. Ballard, but man, he really sounds fantastic on this date.

SENSACIONAL ♥️ ADOREI DEMAIS!!

È il più grande pianista contemporaneo, ogni volta che l'ho sentito dal vivo è sempre stato una emozione unica...

11:13 Eu sei que vou te amar - Tom Jobim. 12:12 O Que Será (À Flor da Pele) - Chico Buarque.

Grandioso Mehldau

🏵️💙🌲😀

my God...

chido

Cool

Anyone know if there is a dvd or cd of this concert i can buy?

One more thing. The Very Thought of You was written by Ray Noble. Konstantinos, it would be polite to give the correct credit.

The Very Thought of You was written by Ray Noble, not Nat Cole

Marvelous. Anyone knows if it is possible to purchase a DVD recording of this performance? I haven't found anything on the web. Thank you!

from the point of view of speed :: en su punto !

Top 3 jazz pianists in your opinion? My personal favorites are Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington and Vince Guaraldi.

E' la sua personalità musicale adatta alla forma Jazz oppure è il Jazz che si piega con le note alla sua personalità???

Jazz giants

Waou. Encore plus moderne et rythmique que Keith Jarrett. Mais moins lyrique.

The solo starting at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h6l6gsehuMDPlo0.html still amaze me each time.

Who's the sound engineer?

this is far out

Someone wipe that man’s brow! Seems like he has to skip a wondrous note or two… I will be your valet sir if no one else will! Fantastic

It's sad that jazz is dead

50 ways to NOT play a cheesy Paul Simon tune is a more apt title. The Very Thought of You works until it doesn’t(when the flow stops at Brad’s extended solo). On the other hand, Brad really shines with She’s Leaving Home where he demonstrates the art of playing softer but flowing louder(until he doesn’t). The other tunes are not worth mentioning. Overall, the bass and drums are annoying and do not compliment the piano enough to justify their inclusion.

He just plays meaningless notes, he is not really a soloist.
