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. To steal from my exposition of almost four years ago, "The master piano player, known worldwide as a game changer in the jazz genre, seemed the perfect … [Read more...]

Ben Gray’s Favorite Jazz Albums of 2016

December 21, 2016 By Ben Gray

A quick pre-amble: jazz is so diverse that it’s near-impossible to compare and rank the "best" albums of the year (Editor's note: which is why Nextbop refers to these lists as our "favorites" as opposed to "the best", because words are important).

It's always had a lounge sound that borrows from jazz, tailor made since its inception for late night internet streaming on Dublab or before them, Soma.fm in some forgotten corner of the internet (somebody out there remembers what I'm talking about). It was trip-hop and acid jazz and downtempo and other … [Read more...]

‘The Bad Plus Joshua Redman’ Equals Awesome

May 27, 2015 By Jason Stillman

I was a bit skeptical upon first hearing of The Bad Plus Joshua Redman (Nonesuch). BP members Reid Anderson (bass), Ethan Iverson (piano), and Dave King (drums) have asserted in the past that their trio is a collaborative effort and that each of them strive to contribute equally as players, composers, and artist I wondered how Joshua Redman would change the dynamic of the … [Read more...]
