Our Take

Jacobs Ladder, the latest offering from the maestro that is Brad Mehldau, is a dizzying ascent into the realms of musical brilliance. Mehldau effortlessly weaves together intricate melodies and improvisational prowess, creating a sonic landscape that is as captivating as it is thought-provoking.

From the opening track, "Ascending Dreams," Mehldau sets the tone for the album with his trademark blend of jazz, classical, and pop influences. His piano playing is nothing short of mesmerising, taking the listener on a journey through peaks and valleys of emotion.

Tracks like "Cloud Nine" and "Stairway to Heaven" showcase Mehldau's ability to effortlessly shift between styles and genres, creating a sense of unpredictability that keeps the listener on the edge of their seat. His collaboration with saxophonist Chris Potter on "Sky's the Limit" is a standout moment, with the two musicians seemingly locked in a musical dialogue that is both captivating and exhilarating.

Overall, Jacobs Ladder is a tour de force from Brad Mehldau, showcasing his unmatched talent and vision as a musician. This album is a must-listen for anyone looking to experience the power and beauty of contemporary jazz music.
