Brad Mehldau Special Quartet - Jazz Baltica 2006 

So proud of you little brother! Can't wait till we can all get together again!

I love Peter Bernstein's silences. He gives the notes time and space to resonate properly. Too many guitarists throw themselves into the instrument and overwhelm you with a flood notes. Bernstein has a completely different approach, and I much prefer it.

The best music for a loooong high way trip - very, very nice 💗

0:00 : Buddha realm 12:45 : Just a thought 26:26 : At a loss 43:37 : Monk's mood 48:40 : We see 59:34 : Artis 1:10:18 : Jive Coffee

Brad Mehldau is fantastic at "not playing"! Watch him closely and you see how he hears the notes without moving his fingers. His statements are 40 % of the melodies he could be playing. No noodling. Same for Peter Bernstein. Uniquely conceived.

I grew up playing with all these cats, Every one a great player, so musical.

I am officially fan of Brad Mehldau: what a distinctive style he has!

One of the finest quartets ever assembled. Brad Mehldau is a virtuoso and Peter's solos are so tasty and melodic. Music so fresh you can listen to it over and over and find something new every time.

What an astonishing band. Brad is absolutely amazing. I'm looking forward to listening to you in November in Athens Greece. The rhythm is so flawless. I wish to play with you sometime.

I personally think that this is one of the best quartet ever when down to guitar and piano together. Love both Mehldau and Bernstein unbelievable interplay between the two..

What a great guitarist !

great comping by brad under bernstein's solos..

Oh my god! These guys are truly gifted by some force from above the Earth !!! Music at its best!

Hatts off to Jeff Balland

These four are burning it up! A supergroup, basically, firing on all cylinders...

22:15 W H A T A GREAT DANE !!!! Mezmerizing !

Nobody plays a melody on guitar better than Peter Bernstein! Before you get all excited, please note, I said "nobody is better", not "he is the best" - there's a subtle, but important difference. Anyhow, look at the focus he puts into every note. Short phrases that work together into larger statements. He delights and surprises the listener.

I must have heard this for the first time 12 or so years ago. My first experience with each one of these musicians. (I’ve been hooked ever since.) The shifting, ethereal beauty of “Buddha Realm” gets me every time.

Excelente concierto!!!! Excelentes musicos!!!! Brad Mehldau tiene un estilo único y muy personal!!!! Muchas gracias por compartir esta joya de concierto!!!!!!

Jeff‘s drumming is phenomenal….sooo tasty! And the other guys too, simply brilliant!

This is one of the most grateful jazz reunions of all time, in my opinion. A session where each musician has established a perfect part of an utterly singular moment, that unfortunately probably never will be re-edited anymore. A jewel, a unique piece of the creative genius of these four brilliant musicians.

Great performance, great artists, very special quartet. Thank You.

Great bass playing!

Loved that ending 'Jive Coffee'! What a distinctive piece of rhythm, harmony, and group interplay!! Vielen Dank!!!

stunning

I see "yeah" guy attended this concert, he's my favorite audience member!

Pat metheny once quoted guitar and piano is a difficult jazz form.his time with Brad's trio was rather experimental. This is an example of wonderful playing ,I love it

All of them excellent.

J ai découvert Brad medhlau a la roque d antheron..et depuis c est un enchantement

Great musicians.

Great. Thanks.

A drummer that is wow - - -

my 3 year old daughter just asked if I was on hold XD

Thank you, uncle! I got high! 😃

Grande concerto!!

Dankeschön

Very impressive. Very professional.

Peter Bernstein did a good job this evening.

Jeff on drums!

I highly commend you awesome, talented, cool, and very blessed drummer! God richly bless your awesome talent man! Coolest performance! I love your bass drum/ crash cymbal sync! Awesome, awesome sound man! I hope you get invites all over the world! You deserve it dude! God bless!!

A pity Larry Grenadier isn't a bit more forward in the YT mix. Jeff Ballard's playing recalls Tony Williams on Maiden Voyage. But otherwise perfect. I write as I listen for the third time.

osef les 2 sont excellents

Drummer Jeff Ballard plays like Coltrane. Man it's not a sax or ... is it? You did it it's great music (Jive Coffee)

Good pianist

ジャズを聞いててよく煮え切らない気持ちになる原因がわかった！ メロディーラインのおとしどころや！

Lick at 14:27 is simply brilliant

what Brad Mehldau can't do on the piano?

👾

Where's the double bass tho?

My favourite live. Bernstein is so lyrical here. Also... 1:17:37 THE LICK

where can you buy brands t-shirt?

heavy sounds

Brett Mehltau??

top

Does anyone know if 'just a thought' is Brad's own tune?

Camera angles on Larry? or no? :P

Willem Dafoe on guitar, nice.

👂🎶🐬😀

49:31

1:10:18

07:42 wtf jeje

That sounds like some far out music.

c qui le meilleur vs avishai cohen

Cory Wong brought me here

Sorry, but this trio needs Steve Morris, not Peter Bernstein.. You can hear them open back up after his trite soloing. Every time...Peter takes it nowhere.

don't know what to think about Peter here in this context wich i feel is not the good for him, phrases are short sounds not really affirmative.

Their jackets looked like they came straight from the drycleaners! No red wine or pizza topping stains on them. Nor cigarette butt burns in their shirts. Are they REAL jazz musicians? I think not.

Nick Diaz on piano?

....saquen al baterista...por favor!!!

This band is hinking behind the past. They're pathetic !!

great comping by brad under bernstein's solos.

Yeah!!!! 😀👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

What a great concert, thx

Absolutely awesome performance man! I am partial to drummers! Your awesome drummer is sensational! Your group is very blessed and very talented dude! God richly bless you fine, awesome and very cool group! We love you very much man! Take care!

Incredible mind i like to blow away

Awesome !!!All Great !!!! thanks...
