Jazz / Post-Bop
Recorded: May 27-28, 1998, Right Track Studios, New York, New York
Brad Mehldau - piano
Jorge Rossy - drums
Larry Grenadier - bass
Matt Pierson - Producer
James Farber - Recorded and Mixed
The lyrical pianist Brad Mehldau applies his melancholy, Bill Evans/Keith Jarrett-derived approach to a set of five originals plus standards including "Young at Heart," "For All We Know," and "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered," as well as covers of Nick Drake's "River Man" and Radiohead's "Exit Music (For a Film)." The always swinging and tasteful pianist is accompanied by a rhythm section of drummer Jorge Rossy and bassist Larry Grenadier, and overall this is a fine program easily recommended to straight-ahead collectors.
