Brad Mehldau
One of the most lyrical and intimate voices in contemporary jazz piano, Brad Mehldau has forged a unique artistic path, bringing together the exploratory spirit of jazz, classical romanticism, and the allure of pop music.
Acclaimed as a bandleader and widely recognised through his collaborations with Pat Metheny, Renée Fleming, and Joshua Redman, Mehldau continues to receive numerous awards and admiration from jazz purists and music lovers alike.
His ventures across musical idioms, both in trio and solo settings, have led to brilliant reworkings of songs by contemporary songwriters and composers including The Beatles, Cole Porter, Radiohead, Paul Simon, George Gershwin, and Nick Drake. Alongside these interpretations stands the ever-growing breadth of his own significant catalogue of original compositions.
With his self-professed affection for popular music and his classical training, Brad Mehldau is regarded as one of the defining pianists of our time. The New York Times has called him “the most influential jazz pianist of the last 20 years.”
