Our Take

Ah, Brad Mehldau, the jazz maestro with fingers of gold and a mind full of musical wonder. His latest album "Jacobs Ladder" is a jazz odyssey that takes us on a journey through time and space, blending classic melodies with futuristic sounds in a way only Mehldau can.

From the opening notes of the title track, we are transported to a world where the boundaries between genres blur and the rules of music are meant to be broken. Mehldau's piano playing is nothing short of mesmerising, as he effortlessly weaves intricate melodies and harmonies that seem to dance around each other in a never-ending tango.

Tracks like "Moon River" and "Fascinating Rhythm" showcase Mehldau's ability to reinvent classic songs in his own unique style, bringing a fresh perspective to timeless tunes. His bandmates, Larry Grenadier on bass and Jeff Ballard on drums, provide a solid foundation for Mehldau's musical explorations, creating a tight-knit trio that is a joy to listen to.

Overall, "Jacobs Ladder" is a testament to Brad Mehldau's talent and vision as a musician. With its blend of tradition and innovation, it is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast looking for something new and exciting. So sit back, relax, and let Brad Mehldau take you on a musical journey like no other. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
