I've been a fan of jazz pianist Brad Mehldau for a long time. When I saw he was performing at UCLA's Royce Hall, I had to see it. Not being a classical music fan, I didn't know what to expect with '3 Pieces After Bach', but I knew I'd enjoy it. Brad did not disappoint. The works were inspired by Bach, but they were 100% Mehldau. The audience enjoyed it immensely as well, calling him back for 2 encores.
The Brad Mehldau trio was one of the best performances I had ever seen. I could have easily called it a night after that. My life is forever changed in a good way. The Bad Plus sounded like spoiled children that night. But I usually like them too.
Virtuoso musicians in top form: 6 awkward white guys play jazz, banter awkwardly (think Jim Parsons in Big Bang Theory), but play beautiful music. It was a great show in a beautiful venue. The audience was about 75% male, which i thought was odd -- never noticed that at a concert before.
Finally caught the trio last Friday at CSUN. Words do not begin to describe the artistry these three gentlemen exhibit. Very high level (think Jarrett Trio), perfect dynamics (well played Mr. Ballard!), highly communicative (can tell they've been playing together for very long time). If you get an opportunity to see them, by all means GO!!!
You can always count on an excellent performance by the Brad Mehldau Trio. All three musicians are top notch talents! I was disappointed that this was not a sell-out…come on, Atlanta!!
Exceptional performance at an outstanding venue. Mehldau does not disappoint.
This night with all these jazz legends was a pure pleasure
Great program. Nice to know creativity is out there and still flourishing. Beautiful to watch musicians collaborate in an adventure and be in an audience who are willing and able to go on a musical journey. Inspiring stuff.
The seats we out of sight - could not see the stage. The sounds and chord combinations and melodic lines were out of sight. Brad and his group are the once in a blue moon occurrence - think Tatum, Petersen, Brubeck, Evans. A ballad thrown in with the performance would provide listeners with the chance to make the measure of the nuiances that define Mr. Mehldau's compositions and their unique and interesting form.
