Title: The early Mehldau
Product review: I highly recommend this Cd for those who are already Brad Mehldau listeners! You will discover wonders of his music that were still just beginning to emerge at the time, at the beginning of the 90's. Mehldau was already in complete command of the piano, but wasn't yet creating those wonderfull soundscapes that he creates now. You can listen an astonishing improviser, with complete assimilation of the jazz vocabulary of the past, taking risks and beginning to free his left hand from the tirany of comping'!Another interesting point is that Mehldau since 1994 has been directing his virtuosity in another way. He could and can, for sure, play at incredible speed, swing hardly and manage the bebop heritage at its best, but nowadays his efforts seems to be more toward group interaction, music development and texture. If you are new to Mehldau's music I suggest you listen his Arts of The Trio first!
