Brad Mehldau Trio | Concert in Toulouse 

What makes to me interesting this pianist is the ability to interchange melody and harmony into a perfect Rhythmic fit. The Beauty in Music! Thanks for Sharing!

So, this is funny: I always see comments about how some rando knew or knew of the celeb. This time it's true: knew of, that is. Mehldau was a year behind me at Hall High School in West Hartford. I don't think I ever spoke to him, but I do clearly recall a talent show appearance by him in which he started off with a Chopin-esque musing-exploration that he stretched out as long as he could till bursting without warning into a blistering bluesy rollick. To thunderous applause. Hall had a fantastic jazz program--Joel Frahm came out of that, too. I just went there--but being a drummer now I really wish I'd gotten that training back in the day. Wasn't allowed to play drums. Oh, well. :) Glad to see people making great music, for sure.

I grew up knowing Brad. We were very good friends at one point. We had the same piano teacher - Ruth Horowitz - I’m from Hartford

Ballard's right hand ride provides the rhythmic wash upon which the whole magic carpet flies.

The flow and the intensity... One of the best trios of our time.

That version of knives out is just out this world. I love how Brad thanks the musicians afterwards..

Our newest Jazz Piano giant - for sure!

This is really nice playing. I listen to a lot of Keith. This is the first time I feel like I'm getting Brad Mehldau a little bit. Also, and completely besides the point, Toulouse, La Ville Rose, is really beautiful. Lots of great memories from there.

I adore this man. How on Earth does he do it? No one plays like this. Only KJ comes close.

È il più grande pianista contemporaneo, ogni volta che l'ho sentito dal vivo è sempre stato una emozione unica...

JUSTE MAGNIFIQUE , quelle écoute entre ces musiciens...Quel respect en symbiose...(un batteur qui a joué avec Rhoda SCOTT en 1992 et avec d'autres grands artistes)

I don't think I've ever heard Jeff Ballard sound better than he does here. I love Jorge Rossy and I'm usually less fond of Mr. Ballard, but man, he really sounds fantastic on this date.

i just got blown away

how nice Melhdau, what a music player

One of the super trios of all time

11:13 Eu sei que vou te amar - Tom Jobim. 12:12 O Que Será (À Flor da Pele) - Chico Buarque.

Brad is a Master! The Drummer n Bais are as well! Great sound n video!

One more thing. The Very Thought of You was written by Ray Noble. Konstantinos, it would be polite to give the correct credit.

🏵️💙🌲😀

The Very Thought of You was written by Ray Noble, not Nat Cole

E' la sua personalità musicale adatta alla forma Jazz oppure è il Jazz che si piega con le note alla sua personalità???

chido

Jazz giants

from the point of view of speed :: en su punto !

Waou. Encore plus moderne et rythmique que Keith Jarrett. Mais moins lyrique.

Anyone know if there is a dvd or cd of this concert i can buy?

Cool

Marvelous. Anyone knows if it is possible to purchase a DVD recording of this performance? I haven't found anything on the web. Thank you!

The solo starting at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QCJOdpSZkfY.html still amaze me each time.

Someone wipe that man’s brow! Seems like he has to skip a wondrous note or two… I will be your valet sir if no one else will! Fantastic

Who's the sound engineer?

It's sad that jazz is dead

this is far out

50 ways to NOT play a cheesy Paul Simon tune is a more apt title. The Very Thought of You works until it doesn’t(when the flow stops at Brad’s extended solo). On the other hand, Brad really shines with She’s Leaving Home where he demonstrates the art of playing softer but flowing louder(until he doesn’t). The other tunes are not worth mentioning. Overall, the bass and drums are annoying and do not compliment the piano enough to justify their inclusion.

He just plays meaningless notes, he is not really a soloist.
