Brad Mehldau Trio / Tokyo, Japan 06.01.2019 Upgrade

Brad Mehldau, considered one of the greatest jazz pianists of the 21st century, constantly pursues the artistry of jazz piano and truly shines in live performances. This definitive release, featuring a superb audience recording from his June 1st 2019 Japan tour—a performance that included three encores—is a must-have for fans, featuring a different master than previously released and upgraded to a superb level. This performance includes both his original compositions and classic standards. While Mehldau is known as the “pianist of modulation,” this live performance features many simple 4/4 and 3/4 time signature pieces. Mehldau’s piano playing on “From This Moment On” and the encore performance of “Tenderly,” both included on Disc 2, has been widely discussed by fans on social media and blogs, making this a must-listen version for anyone who loves piano jazz. Even those who own the previous title will be satisfied with this model change in sound quality. Live at Tokyo International Forum, Tokyo 06/01/2019 Disc 1 1. Introduction 2. Sehnsucht 3.
