came from the Rick Beato interview. Stunning song.
Same here.
Me too. My jaw dropped when I heard this.

Me as well.
This song will probably get a lot of plays after the next week or so.

@parker hicks 6 words?

…the only thing that’s coming to mind is Let’s Go Brandon, and I really, really don’t want it to be that.
@@jburbygo let’s go Bloo. Normally comes right after 6 words.
@@Phicksusmc Phew, thanks 😅 Can’t wait to see this on the field, hope it’s the beginning!
This Bloo show is looking promising
it definitely blew me away
I´m a simple man, I see Brad has released a something new and I put my headphones on and close my eyes
Something not so simple is happening.
That’s exactly what I just did
And further said "Take my money!!!"
Mehldau explains, "Finding Gabriel came after reading the Bible closely for the last several years. The prophetic writing of Daniel and Hosea resonated in particular, as well as the wisdom literature of Job and Ecclesiastes, and the devotional words of Psalms. The Bible felt like a corollary and perhaps a guide to the present day-one long nightmare or a signpost leading to potential gnosis, depending on how you read it. The archangel Gabriel appeared to Daniel, telling him, 'At the beginning of your pleas for mercy a word went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly loved. Therefore consider the word and understand the vision.' It seemed that the trick was to listen to Gabriel's words through all the noise and find a way to explain the bedlam, not only to oneself, but to a young person with less of a reference as to what is right-side up-perhaps one's own children.
"In this upside down state of affairs, the prophet is a fool: 'The man of the spirit is mad, because of your great iniquity and great hatred,' Hosea says. He meant that the prophet indeed speaks the truth, but no one believes it anymore-it's all fake news, no matter on which side of the fence you are standing. There is a temptation to make it all go away and escape into even more distraction, but this is only temporary refuge and leads one further into a matrix of falsehood. Eventually one comes up for air with more confusion and maybe even despair. With all the supposed connectivity, it seems that we are more separated from each other than ever, submerged in the deep water of unhappy solitude. Where to turn for the truth? Ask, with a humble heart, listen deeply, and the answers will come.
"The music initially sprang out of a new synth I was discovering-the Dave Smith/Tom Oberheim OB-6 featured on several tracks," Mehldau continues. "I built up many of the tracks beginning with synths and Mark Guiliana on drums, in a process similar to our previous collaboration, Taming the Dragon. Layers were added, and the human voice became an important element-not with text, but as a pure expression of harmony and emotion. I worked with singers I've admired and been close to over the past several years-Becca Stevens, Kurt Elling, and Gabriel Kahane-and sang myself as well. Strings and winds were added and the project became more orchestral, with features from stellar musicians: trumpet player Ambrose Akinmusire, tenor saxophonist Joel Frahm, and violinist Sara Caswell.
Bruno Frey Nascimento
Kurt Elling is going to be on this album?
The world’s greatest jazz vocalist collaborating with the world’s greatest jazz pianist? I would die of happiness.
Thanks for posting that, Bruno. Very cool background info!
@@lukeromer No problem, Luke!
This source material was incredible!! This particular part of Bloo's show still is my favorite
Lovely. Intro: anyone else reminded of “Everything in its right place”?
Now that you said it yes! There is also a bit of "The light in your name" (These new puritans) when the voices come, and something of "Weird fishes" with the drums...
Yeah, there's definitely something radioheady in it. I first associated it with Pyramid Song.
I thought that too. It is definitely there but in passing. Likely not intentional (my thinking at least). Anyways, Both are excellent examples of music. I really love this track/can't wait for the lp.
Knives Out too.
@@lucianonotarfrancesco4443 my thoughts exactly
Whoever did the animation understood the music....
I know who did the animation and he understand the music ;)
Mark on drums. You don't even need to look.
I've listened to this like 20 times. I can't get enough of it.
This is the most awesome thing I’ve listened to, since Jacob Collier released Moon River! This is how I imagine a gate to another world sounds like!
Isn’t crazy that this song and moon river both got played by the number 1 and 2 (ties but still) drum corp in the same year? Funny coincidence
@@Its_Leauxsacks_Music bro predicted dci 2022
I'm alive and free... Love you...
me when a chapel is built where I used to play on the green
Mehliana meets Pat Metheny Group. Brilliant! Can't wait! Brad is a genius!
Your reply nailed it . . . yes, he is a genius.
What a haunting musical journey this is! Mr. Mehldau truly is one of a kind...
One of the best albums of 2019! This was my soundtrack for the year. Thank you.
this song is beautiful
I rediscovered this song after a blunt and hell yeah!
Hello Bluecoats Fans
Sup
amazing, what a spiritual leader is Mehldau... A voice of a generation
BLOOO
This song would be a great sync for a score or show intro! Love it!!!
Not really the opener, but look up "Bluecoats 2022" on TH-cam. This is the closing piece of music they play and their rendition of it is phenomenal
truly wonderful to get to hear what Brad Mehldau does. also a new golden age is coming with his embrace of the Oberheim synth... so good
Wow... Incredible, and Ambrose Akinmusire is perfect (as always).
His solo on this made me want to get some of his music.
Gabriel.Kahane on vocals. I am SOOOO glad these two artists are collaborating. Check out Gabriel's stuff. His Ambassador album is Killin...
love this opener for the album. Everything in its right place....
this man is a genius ..... simply amazing .... i love him and his music so much .... this is perfection
Beato turned me on to this last night, Brad you need to let him interview you
done!
WOW. This is amazing....just startlingly brilliant. I am so grateful for Brad.
is there no people who can make awesome animation for such genius?
alexey siverenko i was watching thinking of the animation I would make for it haha (not a huge fan of this animation)
Nonesuch Records has no good taste for video I suggest, just for music .-)))
What a wonderful album!
this is just too beautiful
Melodic & harmoniic brilliance. Absolutely stunning. 💫💜💫
S/O to Rick Beato for the heads up! Amazing song this, wow!!
The song is amazing, and so is Rick, but I came to Brad Mehldau by way of a Radio program called Jazz in the New Millenium.
So Bloo basically picked a Nier soundtrack song. I'm about it.
Preordered. Ambrose has such amazing lines! Everything about this is exciting.
Can't wait, a few of my favorite musicians creating what I'm sure will be my new favorite music!
This is absolutely mind blowing
This is Divine!
Bellissimo pezzo tratto dall'album capolavoro Finding Gabriel !!!!!!
A shadow of Bach, hiding within angel flights. A masterpiece already.
The only one, the best ever, one step ahead. Sublime.
This song got me into jazz
Wow, what a stellar group of musicians
1:43 - 1:55 ♫ Everytheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiing..... in it's riiiight plaaaaaaaaaaace ♫
Just... wow... otherworldly
Sounds like radiohead jazz
Exactly what I thought
Such a powerful and emotional masterpiece, yet, I feel anxiety while listening to it.
This reminds me of Radiohead! Beautiful, minor, and melancholy.
This is really great! What a fun new direction! Hey Brad, if you're listening, I want to say thank you for continuing to evolve, while also remaining rooted in the motifs you're exploring at the moment. I also wanted to suggest, as a fan of two decades, that you collaborate with Chris Potter. I've dreamed of the two of you getting together ever since Mehliana--you have some overlapping attitudes about music. It's kind of amazing to me that you haven't ever played together, as far as I can gather; I really hope you don't hate each other or something! It would be the sickest thing imaginable.
Chris Potter's album "Moving in", 1996.
They also collaborated on a Joe Martin album.
Oh yeah, I forgot about these. Well, I'm thinking something more electronic, along the lines of Underground/Circuits/Mehliana...
Incredible.
im so in awe by this combination of musicians. too cool
One year later and this song still is so amazing.
d a m n ! never heard something sounding so fearful and unresting
Really? I find it relaxing lol.
Magic!
Oooh mark guiliana
Wow my ears definitely are no longer virgins after listening to this whole video
Just amazing!
ある日ラジオで聞いてから頭から離れなくてそのまま音源を買った…めちゃくちゃくせになる
heard this on Jamie Cullum BBC R2 jazz program, wanted to hear it again!
Beautiful. Reminds me of Ben Johnston's suites for microtonal piano and a bit of Hamasyan's.
Those vocal harmonies at 5:35 are just some other shit fr
❤❤❤❤❤
AWESOME!!!! I love Brad's new music already!!!!
Beautiful.
great music.thanks
That's absolutely marvelous
Timeless
That was like walking down a simple suburban road with your surroundings becoming more and more interesting untill you reach the Amazonian rainforest..
Fantastic!
This is more than wonderful
The first couple of minutes remind me of Pyramid Song, perhaps the harmony a little bit, and the way the beat is ambiguous until a little further when the kick comes in. Love also the little dissonance at 0:20 just when the cloud with lightning appears. Does this piece use microtuning too or I am hallucinating new notes? Love it!
Hallucinating new notes kkkk specifically the #9, #4 that appears here
@@ianbrandao8899 I think it is micro tuning. There seems to be some definite pitch-bending going on on top of the blue notes at least
@@nat-moody I only listen once! But i'll check it out
I absolutely love this album. I hope Brad does a video for Deep Water
Brad bought a new synth!
prophet xl perhaps
@@MusicianParadise OB-6 Polyphonic synthesizer, Therevox, Moog Little Phatty, as stated in the description
Mehldau brings the genius as always!!
this song go hard especially because of a dci group
Es la composición más hermosa que he escuchado lo que va este año.
Lovely!
Still the best. 😍
This is so sad.
And beautiful.
But really sad.
Gorgeous.
Chaos.
Wow.
Yann Maenner Haunting as well
Absolutely Beautiful.
Thanks, Brad. Really.
bravo
Wow!
Amazing.
what a trip..
AMAZING. Somehow this album goes hand by hand with Steve Vai's album "Fire Garden", to me. Maybe Brad got some inspiration from there. As a huge fan from Vai's album and Mehldau's incredible musicianship, this gives me so much inspiration, as a musician!
Go check out Vai's "Fire Garden", in case you guys don't know it yet!
Perfección.
just wanted to say that this is really good
A bit of Radiohead and Pat Metheny ... I dig it! Love Ambrose Akinmusire
sounds so "tigran hamasyan"
love it!!
ORO PURO !!
I ate about an eighth of mushrooms and watched this the other day and dear lord
Jared Degler lolol
good idea
Sublime
Wow!!!
Wow
So many great overlapping chords.
Haven't looked it up but can tell that is Mark Guiliana.
❤ PRACHTIG ! 👏👏👏
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwww jesus christ!!!! best peak moment in 21th century jazz so far at minute 3:57
