Grammy-winning jazz pianist Brad Mehldau traffics in extremes. His music weaves together a host of seeming contradictions—a passion for in-the-moment discovery balanced by a penchant for narrative and structure; a sensibility prone to abstraction and dense counterpoint but also drawn to the tunefulness, simplicity, and directness of a pop song. With 12 trio recordings to his name over more than 25 years, Mehldau has entered the canon of great jazz piano trio leaders, and here is joined by longtime bandmates, bassist Larry Grenadier (a San Francisco native) and drummer Jeff Ballard, for an evening of original compositions and reimagined jazz standards.
