Brad Mehldau
Jazz pianist Brad Mehldau has recorded and performed extensively since the early 1990s. Mehldau’s most consistent output over the years has taken place in the trio format. Starting in 1996, his group released a series of five records on Warner Bros. entitled “THE ART OF THE TRIO.” Mehldau also has a solo piano recording entitled “ELEGIAC CYCLE,” and a record called “PLACES”that includes both solo piano and trio songs. Other Mehldau recordings include “LARGO,” a collaborative effort with musician and producer Jon Brion, and “ANYTHING GOES” —a trio with bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jorge Rossy. Mehldau has worked with a number of great jazz musicians, including Joshua Redman, Pat Metheny, Charlie Haden and Lee Konitz, and recording as a sideman with the likes of Michael Brecker, Wayne Shorter, John Scofield, and Charles Lloyd. Mehldau’s music has appeared in several movies, including Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut and Wim Wender’s Million Dollar Hotel. He also composed an original soundtrack for the French film, Ma Femme Est Une Actrice.
