Brad takes the standard rendition to a new level. A large amount of ‘white space’, the development of motives, abandoning the traditional background dominated by linear jazz lines, and full of rhythmic vocabulary. With Brad, jazz piano enters the wonderful contemporary era.

Such a classic take. All 3 of them are so clued into that special 'cheeky' kind of swing feel, I don't think I have really heard anyone else play with this swing feel, the trio with Jorge Rossy didn't have it, but it's not just from Jeff Ballard, like listen to Jeff play with Chick Corea, it doesn't have the same feeling at all. I think it comes from Monk, and I guess Sonny also had that cheekyness. Also, what an incredibly perfect & swinging bass solo, Larry's entire being is in sync, look at the focus on his face, he is even dancing a little bit, his head and hips move in time with his rhythm. alos, JUST CHECK OUT that line at 4:50 with the glissando. and WHAT ABOUT those chords at the beginning of the B section just afterwards (we're talking about Brad's comping now) also don't miss that voiceleading in those upwards chords from 6:35 to 6:49, like wtf is that voiceleading? How did he...? It just kept going up. He ended on the 5th but it sounded so unexpected.

Mehldau exploits here a resource that he masters very well, where both hands play the same subject, a super melody with two right hands but without a left hand, both hands at the service of a single element, they are never independent, Mehldau is a single person playing the piano, and not two, as a great jazz pianist should be. The best example that comes to mind is Michel Petrucciani.

@@SELMER1947 Meldhau est un très bon pianiste de jazz je comprends pas l'intérêt de savoir si oui où non il a révolutionné la musique où pas, et si jamais ce n'est pas le cas je ne comprends pas non plus le problème. Cependant je connais énormément de gens dont des musiciens qui adorent sa musique et un bon tiers des pianistes de jazz actuel l'ont écouté et relevé à un moment, donc son impact sur le son du piano jazz est réel et palpable. Mais en réalité que ce soit le cas où pas je trouve que c'est assez malsain ce rapport à la musique et notamment le fait de vouloir idolâtrer des musiciens et comparer qui pèse le plus dans l'histoire. Malheureusement pour vous ce n'est pas vous qui décidez quelle direction prend la musique, donc a vous de produire quelque chose de conséquent où d'aller écouter des choses qui vous inspirent plutôt que de perdre votre temps a rabaisser des gens qui ont 100 fois notre niveau. Et d'ailleurs le jazz est aussi une tradition avant tout, qui est liée à une histoire précise et située et qu'il s'agirait de respecter surtout quand on s'appelle Jean-Jacques et qu'on habite dans le Morbihan (avec tout le respect pour les Jean-Jacques, je m'inclus dedans).
