Just beautiful. The Glenn Gould of Jazz. Even has his bench.

[TheCheesemelter]

there just isn't a category for this guy. he's constantly evolving. i've seen him a few times over the years (yoshi's oakland and zellerbach) and it's always magic. he becomes so intimate with the instrument, his entire being and the keys merge into one.

[alessandrovaccari]

I love Mehldau's objective approach to piano, without emphasis, controlled, but not cold.

[jamesfpianist]

The tonal palette he achieves is seriously astonishing.

[teddypantelas]

There is no one like him! He’s constantly reaching higher and higher for new things and accomplishing them. This is a great performance. Not enough stars to rate this!

[dylandecker_music]

The fact that he's absolutely killing it in 5....

[Pijanoo]

I don't understand how this guy constantly composes music at this quality. Amazing.

[paulcassidy]

I keep coming back to this performance, it's just so damn good.

[daveydoodle]

What a gift to articulate on the keyboard Bach's affect on his consciousness.

[KarelCuelenaere]

This is truly wonderful.
I remember seeing this two years ago, and how surprised and delighted I was by what I heard. Now again I'm overcome by a kind of joy, a childish pleasure in discovering a new possibility, a new detail in the world. It's hard to comprehend but it just happens.

[Airofwestport]

Could listen to this music all night. So creative. Fantastic.

[betouretmichel]

Brad please ....another gem album of classical "declinaison"!your after bach is bliss.

[dillonheimerl]

This is the most incredible example of baroque morphing into jazz that I've ever heard. I mean this is pure genius....waaa

[joaopedromelao]

[ajohn]

Florida man goes crazy while playing Bach

[FreddySpow]

Le Rondo, que ce soit en album ou en live, me transporte à chaque fois, de la beauté du thème stricte aux explorations harmoniques avec tout leurs possibles suggérés...
Absolument magnifique

[Aras-voib]

incredible pleasure ... sounds are like a bridge from time to timeless

[Hugh]

Some of the best music I've ever heard.
