Brad Mehldau Trio / France 07.15.2021

While Mehldau has been releasing solo live recordings with just his piano, this time it’s not a solo performance, but rather a new live recording of his trio performance at this year’s Nice Jazz Festival, featuring Larry Grenadier and Jeff Ballard, captured from a web-streamed audio. This is a long-awaited release from the trio. The album opens with “Mo Honk,” which was featured on last year’s quartet album “Round Again,” and this live take is a must-listen for fans. The album concludes with the classic “Here’s That Rainy Day,” making this an item where fans can fully enjoy Mehldau’s trio performances. Live at Nice Jazz Festival, Nice, France 07/15/2021 1.
