Brad Mehldau – “The Garden” (Video)

April 4, 2019 By Anthony Dean-Harris

The last time Brad Mehldau played electric as a leader was 2014's Mehliana: Taming the Dragon alongside drummer Mark Guiliana.

Sure, Mehldau spent the last … [Read more...]

Chris Thile & Brad Mehldau – ‘s/t’

February 15, 2017 By Anthony Dean-Harris

Mandolinist Chris Thile and pianist Brad Mehldau have been playing together for a little while now. I got to see them play together in Austin back in 2013 and was certainly impressed, wondering why this hadn't happened before.
