And made them sound better in that the songs now feel very dated when I listen and think of my teenage self listening to Radiohead. Great musicians can always take a tune and make something even better out of it. Like what happened to all the showtunes when picked up by great jazz musicians.
Ivan Horvath .......right but.... be aware that other TH-cam commenters say precisely the same of Bill Charlap, or Keith Jarrett, or Monk, or Oscar Peterson, or Keith Jarrett, or Fred Hersch, or Bill Evans, or Hank Jones, or Flanagan, or Keith Jarrett, or Gene Harris, et cetera.
I’m incapable of denying him his joy, silly. I too enjoyed Brad’s improv. It’s the irony of hyperbole complements that I’m trying to illustrate to him.
Of course it's impro, you don't hear it? ;) Evolving out of the tune by Radiohead in the first approx. 3 minutes of the song. The "free impro movement" inspired by the Radiohead song chord progression starts around 3:06.
Much better than the original piece, which sorry to say is quite uninteresting. It seems the simple chord progression and melody was used as a springboard to create a much more interesting and elaborate composition/improvisation/performance. Brad has explained that he likes to create something like epics out of these songs, making them larger than they were with an arc with development and exploration along the way.
I disagree when you say that the original is uninteresting. The original has a syncopation in it which is quite impressive, given that it is actually played by drummers and not registered on a pc. You have to consider, moreover, that syncopation is actually the "theme" of that album by them, so they focused more on that aspect and on how to fuse it with the music which people are normally used to. I think they did "Little by little" brilliantly, I am always so immersed in the track when I listen to it. This rendition here is a classical one, it's obvious that it will come out as more complex. But I wouldn't define the other one uninteresting. That said, everyone has their own tastes, so I understand
@@korindra9993 Cool, I accept what you’re saying. I actually learned of Radiohead mostly through Mehldau’s reworkings. I will relisten to the Little by Little piece. I will listen for the syncopathion aspect you mention. Thanks.
In the studio version it's played by loops. Anyway, it's a very underrated piece in a very underrated album of radiohead. A lot of latin/brazilian influence on little by little - the rhythm part is based on the brazialian baiao rhythm. I really really like The King Of Limbs, which i found very inpired not only by electronic music, but also latin and jazz - the pieces are modal... It's a great album to listen from strat to finish, great to hear that Brad likes it!
holy .... this is a masterpiece ! Brad and Thom are genius
Non pensò che un pianista possa raggiungere oggi livelli così alti! MAGNIFICO
So dramatically intense and so beautiful...
thanks Brad
Breathless ...
First time I listen to this... Unreal 🤯😍😭
maravilloso brad mehldau!
he has covered radiohead more than any other artist

And your point is? There are a lot of amazing pianists? Why deny a fan their joy?

Someone knows why Brad is sitting in that low chair? or is just my impression? :o
He is really tall man, thats why
it is filigree!
What else….
Is it impro ?
Original is by radiohead (little by little is the song name)
