Ugh that was so deliciously free and beautiful

There is no much that can be said...maybe that living is worth it to find music like this piece.

I always knew that Brad was great but After Bach has elevated my opinion of his artistry to a new stratosphere.

I was honoured to see Brad live. What a charisma, precision, imagination! Fantastic personality.

This is nothing short of genius... what else can I say. The piece speaks for itself.

Remember: in Bach's time Johann was well known as a solo improviser of spiralling thematic works. I get the sense that the majority of this was improvised with a few preset structures determining the flow of the improvisation: the theme, progression and the ostinato.

Magical realism ... an adventure into wonder, delight at bending, flexing, opening the mind & heart with chords and notes pushing against gravity. I love the nuance of surprises elevating the listener then grounding with the the familiar Bach foundational music. A riff soaring, transforming opening elegance - a beautiful conversation. Thank you Brad Mehldau.

He takes the melody from the start and keeps taking it to a mysterious direction (turning a relatively simpler harmony into dissonance that has the ability to evoke a lot of emotions) to finally bring one of the main motifs (1:40) back even more striped down than the start with high energy (6:50). He has stated in an interview that the idea of taking a melody and molding it into something completely different while keeping it the same at some degree is fascinating to him and we can clearly hear that in this piece. Blurring the lines between jazz and classical.

I hear this in 5/8 but the way he plays with his natural dynamic tendency, fluidity and elasticity is just awe-inspiring. It's also very interesting that to a listener he seemingly ends the tune at 7:53 but then reintroduces the introduction of the piece to give it more strength.

I heard new things each listen.

. I had been listening to handpans and all manner of musics tonight. I couldn't have known that this is exactly what needed right now, washing through a great
loss and sadness.
There is so
much information here!
Such inventive intelligence, seamless beauty and sheer splendor. Thank you ever for the gift of this inspiration
and wonder 🏇
