Brad Mehldau on Reimagining The Beatles & Solo Piano Interpretations: A Journey in Jazz

[@gratefulbreen]

I like the fact that the Qobuz interview questions are only text and not audio. It helps keep Qobuz out of the way and only let the artist’s voice come through.

[@MikolaiStroinski]

His talking is as full of wisdom as is his playing. Often a case with the great artists.

[@benvonhunerbein1865]

The questions are wonderful!!!!

I love this. His Beatles album has been spinning in my home for the last couple of weeks. Utterly sublime...

Thank you.

Great interview, smart questions, nice format. He is a modest genius. I’ve ben listing to his albums more and more those recent years. The first record I bought with his as a sideman was Moodswing with Joshua Redman and it was back to 1994.

I have 100's of jazz recordings but Meldau I found by accidentally. It was a discarded library CD that was in the .50 cent bin. I picked it up n the cover was thrashed a bit n I had never heard of him so I put it back. I didn't know who was, whether jazz or pop. A week later I returned n checked it out again. Jazz trio. OMG my favorite style. I have a Mercedes with a great sound system, put on and I was blown away! Meldau plays an experimental type of jazz but with classical melodies. I couldn't bellive what I was listening to! Every original song a master. Kinda like Brubeck .

Another great video from Qobuz. Also like the magazine feature in the app.

Thank you for this!

I really appreciate the insightful questions and of course Brad’s ever thoughtful answers in this interview. I did notice a couple of oversights: Wynton Kelly’s name was misspelled and there were some shots of Brad playing where the audio was just a second or two ahead of the video. Of course, nothing serious, but my brain just can’t ignore that kind of thing 🙈

[@mharbaugh]

That was tremendous! Thank you so much for bringing the time, expense, and passion required to bring us this content in such high quality.

THANKS MAESTRO.

[@tomaspa]

Love this Beatles record (and Bowie’s). It deserves to be played with hi-fi, vinyl or CD. Thanks!!!!!

[@infomineco7111]

How inspiring is this ? So much to think about❤

[@timbruer7318]

This is great, thank you.

[@MatthijsVincent]

So beautiful

Looks like Brad is sporting a Grateful Dead t-shirt!

9:18 Chris Potter Brad Mehldau Brian Balde and John Patitucci maybe on a record one day... O_o

[@song4night]

He needs to do a Bob Dylan album

[@georgemcfetridge8310]

BM's 'Formation' book is for those who like pleasantries. It matches his musical output. Too bad he doesn't see how deeply he himself represents Adorno's Culture Industry product, but, on the other hand, it must be said that all talented musicians deserve success in the world, too.. His stance as to the black artists he admires parallels Artie Shaw's, generations earlier, which is to say 'not impressive', meaning his music will endure like Shaw's - in an agreeable, comfortable niche.

[@DrDAAD]

Nice! Also let's not forget Joe Cocker's version of "With A Little Help From My Friends"......

[@jamesmitchell6925]

Brad is bad
