Renowned as one of the most lyrical and intimate voices in contemporary jazz piano, Brad Mehldau has carved a distinctive path that blends jazz exploration, classical romanticism and pop sensibility. Acclaimed as a bandleader and celebrated for collaborations with artists like Pat Metheny, Renée Fleming and Joshua Redman, Mehldau is admired by both jazz purists and broader music audiences.
His innovative approach to melding musical genres has resulted in stunning reinterpretations of songs by The Beatles, Radiohead, Paul Simon, and Nick Drake, as well as timeless classics by Cole Porter and Gershwin. These sit alongside a significant and ever-evolving catalogue of his original compositions, performed in both solo and trio settings.
With his deep appreciation for popular music and classical influences, Mehldau has been hailed as “the most influential jazz pianist of the last 20 years” (The New York Times).
