  4. Brad Mehldau - Pure music

    in Artists

    Posted

    If you are into jazz, you should know Brad .

    I tent to see him as the pianist who can truly make anything and all sounds out there with great power and emotions.

    Goes between his last crazy album

    and to -

    and great trio leader -

    Here is a Beatles cover "Blackbird" I made as a jazz pianist myself

    hope you'd like it ..

    *** I'm not saying I sound like him at all, just that I heard his cover and loved it and so had my own version.

    I'm here to listen to you reviews ..

    and here is some nice info about this awesome pianist -

    Mehldau studied music at The New School, and toured and recorded while still a student. He was a member of saxophonist Joshua Redman's Quartet with bassist Christian McBride and drummer Brian Blade in the mid-1990s, and has led his own trio since at least 1992. His first long-term trio featured bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jorge Rossy; in 2005 Jeff Ballard replaced Rossy. These bands have released a dozen albums under the pianist's name.

    Since the early 2000s Mehldau has experimented with other musical formats in addition to trio and solo piano. Largo, released in 2002, contains electronics and input from rock and classical musicians; later examples include touring and recording with guitarist Pat Metheny, writing and playingsong cycles for classical singers Renée Fleming and Anne Sofie von Otter, composing orchestral pieces for 2009's Highway Rider, and playing electronic keyboard instruments in a duo with drummer Mark Guiliana.

    Aspects of pop, rock, and classical music, including German Romanticism, have been absorbed into Mehldau's writing and playing. Through his use of some traditional elements of jazz without being restricted by them, simultaneous playing of different melodies in separate hands, and incorporation of pop and rock pieces, Mehldau has influenced musicians in and beyond jazz in their approaches to writing, playing, and choice of repertoire.

    Hey,

    This is a ballad that I've composed,

    and it goes like this -

    00:00 - 00:56 - improv intro / opening

    00:56 - 02:58 - The main theme (the part that I actually composed ...) - two times

    02:58 - 05:30 - improvisation based on the main theme - (as you do in jazz ...)

    05:30 - 07:38 - The main theme again - two times as well ..

    07:38 - 08:25 - improv ending ..

    I hope you'll enjoy !!

    Any opinion and critic are more than welcome !!!

    Interesting. Your bassist and drummer are giving you good support. I think that the tempo certainly showcases the chops of all three of you, but the melody would be better suited if played more slowly and allowed to breathe a bit.

    But I know there's a lot of work put into this, and thanks for sharing.

    Can you expand a bit more about "I know there's a lot of work put into this"

    can you be more specific ?

    and yeah .... maybe we were too uptempo ...

    Thank you !

    Hello !

    This is a piece/song called "Train".

    The piece basically describes moving train.

    the train's speed, and it's own rhythmic, melodic and harmonic life !

    I have composed this piece and I hope that you like it !

    Please give me your honest opinion - good and bad ..

    E N J O Y !!
