Brad Mehldau Trio
PRE-CONCERT WINE AND HORS D’OEUVERS RECEPTION – TICKETS $15 – CALL 616.459.2224
Jazz pianist and Grammy nominated Brad Mehldau has recorded and performed around the world extensively since the early 1990s as a solo pianist and with his trio, featuring bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jorge Rossy. He is first and foremost an improviser, and greatly cherishes the surprise and wonder that can occur from a spontaneous, directly expressed musical idea. He also has a deep fascination for the formal architecture of music. The two sides of Mehldau’s personality—the improviser and the formalist—play off each other. His performances convey a wide range of expression, and he favors juxtaposing extremes.
In addition to his trio and solo projects, Mehldau has worked with a number of great jazz musicians, including saxophonist Joshua Redman; Charlie Haden and Lee Konitz; Wayne Shorter, John Scofield, and Charles Lloyd. For more than a decade, he has collaborated with several musicians, including guitarists Peter Bernstein and Kurt Rosenwinkel and tenor saxophonist Mark Turner. Mehldau also has played on a number of recordings outside of the jazz idiom. Mehldau’s most recent project is a commission from Carnegie Hall to compose and perform songs for voice and piano, featuring the classical soprano, Renée Flemming.
