At 18:00 you see him moving the piano into his new residence. He had that same upright when living in L.A. because I was his piano tuner. And he's still smoking.
His genius lies in his freely rendered ultra-creative explorations of a distinctive theme into infinite twists and turns that the "average" jazz player would never come up with. That readily qualifies him as the contemporary "Bach" of jazz piano.
15:12 "Moreover, Bloom [in James Joyce's Ulysses] reminded me of myself - not as a masturbator per se but as an improviser. Perhaps the two activities had something profanely in common. I identified with Bloom's ability to reach a climax while musing in a non sequitur fashion, because, more often than I cared to admit, some of my strongest improvising was taking place in tandem with similar kinds of rambling thoughts. "Shit, I wonder if I left the coffee maker on when I left the apartment this morning . . . Will that diner still be open after the gig . . . bacon cheeseburger deluxe sounds good . . . with pizza sauce . . . black and white milkshake . . . how much does a one-way to Boston cost on the Amtrak from Penn Station? . . ." The musical ideas flowed outwards nevertheless, and they could be strong ones. Ecstasy and beauty weren't precious. They knocked around in a jumble of prosaic chatter." -Brad Mehldau, Formation p.342-3
You mean the 50 seconds introduction in German out of an awesome 54m40s of a great documentary otherwise spoken in either English or music!? Have you watched it?
Buried treasure

"It's like, 'Fuck You, I Love You. Now let me play you some beautiful music.'" - Brad Mehldau

very talented pianist, glad Mehldau indicates he's cleaned up substance abuse issues, tough work for a genius,
TRAVOLGENTE ma sempre chiaro cristallino limpido il suono. STUPENDO.
Amazing touch.
the song that begins at 17:01 is resignation, not the bard. they're off the same album
Like a beautiful dream...
magic
4:50= well you needn't monk tease
A true genius
Love him 💖
Incredeble
Puissant !
Ufff i would have loved to read subtitles un spanish or english
Je veux cette alt version du all the things you are art of the trio 4
literally the only alien on earth, this is gold! He played the sh$t out of River Man wow
What is the song at 33:30?
Hi. I think it's a part of the Solo on Dear Prudence. Or a solo on "resignation", hard to say.
@@yoann2794 It's "Goodbye Storyteller (For Fred Myrow)", for sure.
Mehldau fans: I'm curious. When was this recorded? When did Jeff Ballard become the drummer in his trio?
1999. Jeff Ballard replaced Jorge Rossy in 2005.
..and ballard took the trio to the next level, in my opinion !
At first I didn't like ballard's playing but after that it was the real deal.
God didn't give us Brad Mehldau, Brad Mehldau gave us god.
20:55
Damn. No English subs. 3:15 is a brilliant shot with the song choice

damn 15:08 could fit perfectly in waking life
Excelent documentary but poor recording, plenty of background noise
I like how this background noise gives me a true feeling about different situations and places...
hard to get clean recordings in clubs...
