Our Take

You know you're in for a wild ride when Brad Mehldau decides to take on The Beatles. The jazz pianist extraordinaire has always been known for his eclectic taste and fearless approach to covers, so it's no surprise that he's taken on the Fab Four with such gusto on "Your Mother Should Know: Brad Mehldau Plays The Beatles."

From the opening notes of "Strawberry Fields Forever," Mehldau's intricate piano work takes the listener on a journey through the psychedelic landscapes of the original, while adding his own touch of jazz virtuosity. His reimagining of "Eleanor Rigby" is nothing short of a masterpiece, with Mehldau's delicate touch bringing a new level of emotion to the classic track.

But it's on tracks like "Blackbird" and "Let It Be" where Mehldau truly shines, showcasing his masterful improvisational skills and deep understanding of the emotional core of the songs. The way he deconstructs and rebuilds these familiar tunes is nothing short of genius, creating a sonic tapestry that is both innovative and deeply moving.

"Your Mother Should Know" is a testament to Mehldau's talent as a musician and his unique ability to breathe new life into old classics. It's an album that will have you tapping your feet, nodding your head, and, most importantly, listening with a newfound appreciation for The Beatles and the endless possibilities of music. Trust us, your mother will definitely know about this one.
