Jazz, art rock and classical all come to play in maverick pianist/composer Brad Mehldau's music. From Radiohead to Mahler to original conceptual compositions, Mehldau mines the inner worlds of piano and jazz to a depth both exhilarating and mesmerizing. Whether performing with his now illustrious trio or with the likes of Pat Metheny and John Scofield, he's famous for his eloquent style fusing improvisation with formal structure. Brad Mehldau—at the Hop in '04 in a double bill with guitarist Bill Frisell—returns with compatriots Larry Grenadier on bass and Jeff Ballard on drums for an evening of heady, awe-inspiring jazz and playing that's “simply brilliant” (Gramophone).
