Does anybody recognize those chords at the very end of Bittersweet and Smells like Teen Spirit? Just before the applause Brad plays these familiar chords. For the life of me I cannot remember the band name or the song but it is a beautiful song from the 90's. There was a music video that had close-ups and sped up video of nature, animals, etc relative to the song title. I can not put my finger on it.
Brad is a great talent. One may surprised as a jazz musician he was a heroin addict for several years. Thankfully he put it all behind him. Now a married family man with 3 kids he’s a great father. He interviews well, great wit and sense of humor. Speaks his mind very effectively.
It's one of these performances never getting boring no matter how often you hear them. The transition of songs into each other like from Bitter Sweet Symphony to Smells like Teen Spirit - incredible.
Every time I come across a Brad Mehldau video I haven't seen before, I end up watching the whole thing when I meant to check it out for a minute or two. The man puts on a good show, and he knows how to phrase, holy cow each song is a complete journey on its own.
rips veins ... fascinates, hypnotizes, absorbs completely. The 90s, the great musical 90s that were asleep in our cells, nourish and vibrate in a wonderful way.
Same feeling I had with Keith Jarrett at the time yeah the 70ties. And he knows that. Still I must say with all humility, Brad Mehlhau is his own sound and music and poetry. Grand. Not least he's a brilliant Bach interpreter.
One of the most unorthodox bills I have ever seen during this time in Mehldau’s career was seeing nearly the identical set when he opened for John Mayer at the Hollywood Bowl. Two of my favs from different worlds on the same night. Bonkers
Mehldau has performed around the world at a steady pace since the mid-1990s, with his trio and as a solo pianist. His performances convey a wide range of expression. There is often an intellectual rigor to the continuous process of abstraction that may take place on a given tune, and a certain density of information. That could be followed by a stripped down, emotionally direct ballad. Mehldau favors juxtaposing extremes. Brad Mehldau Official Site
Since this concert popped up several weeks ago I have listened to some of it every day, and each day I am moved by Brad's playing. I have not felt this way about contemporary music since Keith Jarret's Bremen/Lausanne in the '70s. I am not much of a jazz fan, but his ability to take different genres and create something new and moving in his improvisation just strikes me as divinely inspired. I know that is a lot to say but the energy he brings out in the music seems almost too much to handle at times in its beauty and depth of feeling. I look forward to hearing more of his music, past and future, and I feel fortunate, and grateful, to have discovered him. (Thanks Rick Beato for your great interview with Brad.)
There´s something in the way he plays......you see, he doesn´t even look at the piano, doesn´t need to.... I mean, theres´s total integration between both. His technic is awsome, but there´s also the feeling, which makes him a complete piano player. He was made for it and the piano was made for him.
covering massive attack, the verve, jeff buckley, nirvana and nick drake...at a jazz festival...while wearing a dead shirt...brad is in a category all by himself
If someone ever said could you introduce Smells like Teen Spirit, from Nirvana, right after you just finished Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve.. Only Brad, right? Seen him a dozen times. I remember when he was demoing Bittersweet in 08-09. He'd play it right after Paranoid Android, usually. At the time, it was like, "WTF is this?" Wait, is that.. Yeah, I think it is. Later, there'd be a song. That's what seeing Brad live is. Wish I was here for this performance, as it was another one that was amazing.
So Brad Is in effect a piano therapist for his own dis/ ease a dis ease many of us have experienced. And Brad shows the way through that very toxic yet universal feeling( s).
Keith Jarrett and Brad Mehldau are GOD of Essence of Music and Piano Music. They surpassed Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, Scriabin, Ravel, Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, Kapustin, Art Tatum, Thelonious Monk, Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Michel Camilo and Gonzalo Rubalcaba. I can confidently assert this.
It's always a tricky business to compare musicians. Comparisons to Keith Jarrett are understandable but misguided. This guy does not begin to approach the emotional and musical breadth and depth of maestro Jarrett, nor the heartbreaking lyricism, color palette, subtle grace or masterful pianism. In the void left by the maestro's unfortunate absence from the concert stage, we must take comfort and joy in his peerless recordings rather than elevate mediocre pianists to fill it. It's not Mehldau's fault, he is being who he is. It's simply that who he is is not in the same universe as Keith Jarrett.
It's a pity, why the sound-engineers didn't took care about the sound of this Steinway-grandpiano with such a wonderful pianist, and everything sounds just like a "CP-70" (Yamaha) with an awful compression-rate with such a lack of dynamics . ..
Here we go again. A non techically proficient, non educated guy on a beautiful piano being shown appreciation for non music by a non music loving crowd. You could find more interesting enjoyable music in a bar somewhere.
I wonder what makes Diana Krall technically proficient and educated enough that she only plays real music covers to real music loving crowds. Or what behooves someone to go to a video of an artist he doesn't like to spew his displeasure in the comment section. Side note for a painting 101 trick: Before you paint, protect your floors with some plastic or a rug. That way you don't have to spend hours scratching your new floor with steel wool. :O
Brad studied piano and composition at the Berklee College of Music, I really think this qualifies as education. And if you're a player yourself, you should recognise the technical proficiency after the first bars of bittersweets symphony. It's very hard to split the right hands playing between the melody and accompanying like Brad does. But I'm sure you can do this easily 😉
The hairs on my arms are giving a standing ovation
Brad is travelling the universe with a piano, and taking people with him..
Silver haired piano surfer
Trip the light fantastic and dance this swivel hips!

That just hit the nail on the head! Absolutely, and to a different galaxy as well. WAUUUWWW!!!
Best jazz pianist today.
50:05
Musically, he is the evolution of the linages of Bill Evans and Kieth Jarrett. Incomperable talent.
I don't know. It's a funny comment, saying someone is the best. What's the point when there are many incredible players, like Fred Hersch.
Hiromi better
....and the piano is really well tuned....
I wish I could love something as much as he loves playing piano.
Thats so beautiful and the coolest technique. Amazing. Jaw dropping/ Awe!
I come back to this and then I com back to this and then I come back. So captivating. I just love Brad Mehldau's music.
I’m beyond words rn after listening to waltz for Jon brion (jb)
i have watched and listedn to this a hundred times. He is a genius . I can't put my finger on it why it's so addictive. i adore him
Brad is a great talent.
One may surprised as a jazz musician he was a heroin addict for several years.
Thankfully he put it all behind him.
Now a married family man with 3 kids he’s a great father.
He interviews well, great wit and sense of humor.

A total phenom - Brad is just stunning.
It's easy is to fly listening Brad !
It's one of these performances never getting boring no matter how often you hear them. The transition of songs into each other like from Bitter Sweet Symphony to Smells like Teen Spirit - incredible.
I am so glad that you found the piano!
This is the greatest thing ever
Every time I come across a Brad Mehldau video I haven't seen before, I end up watching the whole thing when I meant to check it out for a minute or two. The man puts on a good show, and he knows how to phrase, holy cow each song is a complete journey on its own.
It's never a minute or two and I keep trying to play it in the background but it always comes to the fore and everything else just has to wait

Brad Mehldau M a s t e r c l a s s ❤
Is this peak Brad? l'd love to know if there are other recorded performances of his that top this one.
In questi giorni di dolore, che si rinnovano tutti gli anni, la musica di brad e' un balsamo per il mio spirito.
I'm speechless. And so damned grateful.
Same feeling I had with Keith Jarrett at the time yeah the 70ties. And he knows that. Still I must say with all humility, Brad Mehlhau is his own sound and music and poetry. Grand. Not least he's a brilliant Bach interpreter.
Heaven exists and Brad Mehldau is opening its doors ... you're so welcome...🧡🩷🩵
브래드 멜다우. The music is so amazing.
We love you Brad
holy crap
It's Massive Attack's Teardrop! Love it!
Spellbinding genius!
One of the most unorthodox bills I have ever seen during this time in Mehldau’s career was seeing nearly the identical set when he opened for John Mayer at the Hollywood Bowl. Two of my favs from different worlds on the same night. Bonkers
Mayer lead guitar for Dead & Co. Mehldau into the GD. Not so different…
In ‘The Zone’ was written about this man. He is a medium in contact with the Muse.🤔❤️🌹j.
Music for the sophisticated ear.
That's true !!!

He is outstanding.
Smells like teen spirit played so powerfull and dramatically, what an iconic melody! I love it so much
I would pay serious money to having been there! Epic perfomance! No better video quality? Pitty!
Volvio!!! habían sacado esta obra de 55 min completa... que alegría!!! No lo escuché más a Brad con este tipo de temas.

That's True, Rick Beato is awesome.
Simply fantastic.
So glad someone re-uploaded. Thanks.

Maravilhoso ❤
Tra i pezzi più belli 👏👏👏

Thank you again
Was there video ever recorded for his performance of My Favorite Things on that day?
Yes, It's this - th-cam.com/video/CvvuyWUTnbM/w-d-xo.html

Awesome. Thank you so much. Anyone know if audio is available of this concert? Thanks again
Why is favourite things omitted?

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🎹🎹🎹🎹👏👏👏
Dear Brad, of course you are the best jazz pianist, but why did you wear a shirt that has been out of date for 23 years (summer tour 1987) !!!???
Did his mom post this? Lol
👾
He makes the more supportable Keith Jarrett music, except for the Cologne concert which cannot be compared to anything else in the world
Keith Jarrett and Brad Mehldau are GOD of Essence of Music and Piano Music. They surpassed Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, Scriabin, Ravel, Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, Kapustin, Art Tatum, Thelonious Monk, Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Michel Camilo and Gonzalo Rubalcaba. I can confidently assert this.
No one comes close to Keith Jarrett, especially melodically, he’s not in the same league, the garden is a beautiful piece.
COMPARED TO BACH WE ALL SUCK, Pat Metheny
It's always a tricky business to compare musicians. Comparisons to Keith Jarrett are understandable but misguided. This guy does not begin to approach the emotional and musical breadth and depth of maestro Jarrett, nor the heartbreaking lyricism, color palette, subtle grace or masterful pianism.

Prachtig, maar niet in de openlucht. Akoestiek is verre van goed.
just a lot of wrong notes
😂😂😂
Boring.... let move on !
Here we go again. A non techically proficient, non educated guy on a beautiful piano being shown appreciation for non music by a non music loving crowd. You could find more interesting enjoyable music in a bar somewhere.
No need to yuck someone’s yum, Mike. And non technically proficient, non educated is just wrong in Brads case.
I wonder what makes Diana Krall technically proficient and educated enough that she only plays real music covers to real music loving crowds. Or what behooves someone to go to a video of an artist he doesn't like to spew his displeasure in the comment section.
Side note for a painting 101 trick: Before you paint, protect your floors with some plastic or a rug. That way you don't have to spend hours scratching your new floor with steel wool. :O
None of that matters if you move people.

It's very hard to split the right hands playing between the melody and accompanying like Brad does. But I'm sure you can do this easily 😉
Trust me Sir, Mr. Mehldau is one of the leading pianist and improviser to change the future of the piano music, you will love him one day
