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.

I first discovered Brad Mehdau around 14 years ago and I automatically buy everything he does. Absolutely love the Brad Mehdau Trio albums. Start out buying the Art Of The Trio albums and go from there.
Agree with Goldmanjay -- start with the 'Art of The Trio' cycle. "Largo", "Trio Live" and "Live At Marciac" are also excellent. He tours extensively, so take the opportunity to hear him live.
