Recorded: 1995 Label: Warner Brothers Comments: Brad Mehldau, one of the most important pianists of the current generation of young lions, began his career in New York and now lives in Los Angeles. These recordings show off his rare talent, as he navigates across the keyboard with incredible control and finesse. A natural born musician, his timing is impeccable as he inherently understands how to build a solo with utmost care and drama.

Recorded: 1999 Label: Warner Brothers Comments: This is the latest CD in an ongoing series. This band has been together now for a few years and knows how to create complicated, thick music, where the beat is toyed with and ideas move around quickly. Brad is a big hit, especially in Europe where the German crowd loves his romantic ideas (and the liner notes that Brad writes himself).

Recorded: 1998 Label: Island Records Comments: If you think jazz musicians can only play jazz, or non-jazz musicians don't know anything about jazz, then you've got to pick up this CD. Willie Nelson is highly respected in the jazz community for his special musicality and incredibly "perfect" guitar solos. His music is truly original and "American" and he deserves a special place in our hearts for making such incredible music over the past decades. Willie taps Brad for some keyboard (and vibes) playing throughout this CD. They must have met when Brad was living in Los Angeles. A "must-have" CD, for sure!
