Brad Mehldau – Songs (The Art Of The Trio Volume Three)
Brad Mehldau – Songs (The Art Of The Trio Volume Three)
Widely regarded as one of the defining jazz pianists of his generation, Brad Mehldau continued to expand the possibilities of the modern piano trio with Songs (The Art Of The Trio Volume Three). Originally released in 1998, the album captures Mehldau’s distinctive blend of lyrical introspection, technical brilliance, and fearless reinterpretation of contemporary songwriting.
Backed by longtime collaborators Larry Grenadier on bass and Jorge Rossy on drums, Mehldau moves seamlessly between jazz standards, original compositions, and striking reworkings of alternative and folk material. His haunting interpretation of Radiohead’s “Exit Music (For A Film)” became an early signature recording, while versions of Nick Drake’s “River Man” and classic standards like “Bewitched, Bothered And Bewildered” showcase the trio’s emotional depth and remarkable interplay.
Elegant, thoughtful, and deeply expressive, Songs stands as one of the essential entries in Mehldau’s acclaimed Art Of The Trio series - a record that helped redefine contemporary jazz for a new era.
