Brad Mehldau – piano, Larry Grenadier – double bass, Jeff Ballard – drums Although Brad Mehldau is still only thirty seven, his influence and position in jazz history is now unquestionable. The American piano magician has so far released seventeen records and been giving concerts since the early nineties in his favourite trio set up which he founded himself. He has enchanted tens of thousands all over the world. Now time is ripe to visit Hungary and we too will witness his exceptional improvi...sational skills, phrasing and ability to create atmosphere. He has been playing with double bass player Larry Grenadier since 1995 and Jeff Ballard also has been his partner for years, so they remain inseparable. Many regard Mehldau, whose playing is filled with rich intellectual content and deep feeling, as the fitting successor to the legendary Bill Evans, although beyond jazz idiom, he also likes to introduce rock and most recently contemporary music elements into his compositions: he has made arrangements with his band of works by the Beatles, Paul Simon and Radio Head. Although he works primarily with his own formation, he has recorded with Charlie Haden and Lee Konitz among others, and collaborated in groups with Wayne Shorter, John Scofield and Charles Lloyd; he has also established fruitful relationships with musicians from his own generation, namely Joshua Redman, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Peter Bernstein and Mark Turner. His film music can be heard in Eyes Wide Shut and Million Dollar Hotel.
