Brad Mehldau

I heard this guy for the first time in my car on the radio last week. I'm kicking myself because I had a chance to see him at the Montreal Jazz Fest last year. At first I thought it was some late 70's Herbie Hancock. They played his trio's version of the Beatle's, 'She's Leaving Home' and it was awesome. Can anyone who might like this jazz artist recommend some of his music? I'm very interested.

Sounds like great information. I pulled the trigger on 'Live at Marciac' right after I posted this thread and it arrived today. Unfortunately I'm on-call and busy so I might wait until Friday night to spin it. I'll be pursuing 'The Art of the Trio' releases soon.

He was touring with Redman last year as well, and I had the chance to see them at the Montreal Jazz Fest (highly recommended) but only had two nights and had tickets to see Milton Nascimento which is my favorite Brazilian musician. I saw Milton second row center and he's not in the greatest of health so I'm glad I made that choice. I'll see Brad one day soon. If you've never been to the Montreal Jazz Festival I suggest you check it out. It's amazing. Way better than any jazz fest in the U.S. It draws well over a million people but the way it's laid out makes it enjoyable and not a pain in the neck. It's safe and there's not a bunch of whacked out people so you can bring your kids and have a great time.
