Brad Mehldau Teardrop Jazz á Vienne 2010 video

[@marciamcdavid149]

My husband of twenty-three years, Lee Callahan, was Brad’s first jazz piano teacher. Brad was a quick study, to put it mildly. When Brad was only a teenager, Lee lined up a gig at the 880 Club in Hartford, Connecticut, for Brad to play in a jazz trio. Most students studied year after year. Within the first year, my husband told Brad, “You’re a genius; I’ve taught you everything I know; go make your music.” The rest is history. Love you, Brad 💜🎶💜🎶💜🎶💜

[@WenGriffin]

Great story! thank you for sharing it!

[@motnotsla1]

what a great story!

[@marciamcdavid149]

Tom Alston What slays me is I actually interviewed Brad right after he graduated from high school. It was surreal because we were in a jazz club (he was waiting to play), and he was just so young compared to the other players. Brad talked about how stern (I’m 99.9% sure he used ‘mean’) yet REALLY GOOD, his school’s jazz band director was. I taped the interview on a miniature recording device. Before I had a chance to write it up, one of my students swiped the tape recorder and Brad’s interview was gone with the wind.

[@motnotsla1]

Marcia McDavid That’s a bummer. He must have had a lot of self discipline for his age. I can only imagine the hours of practice he put in to get the technique he has.

[@marciamcdavid149]

@@motnotsla1, actually he picked up things so quickly, it seemed his physical technique was already in his makeup. He did spend hours creating (improvising) his own music. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure he studied Classical technique before he studied with my husband.

[@bobbygotsch]

Imagine all the beautiful shit Brad plays at 3am alone in his living room.

[@luisafonsoandre]

+Bobby Gotsch indeed!

[@MuzoSTEIN]

KEATS would never pair the words Beautiful & Shit in 'romantic' setting such as this glorious occasion with Mehldau. Somehow, try as you may, they're certainly no yin-yang affair. LOL

[@iamwerdna3048]

Love this comment

[@AntonyBartlett]

Lol

[@nicochara1888]

I always think that...

[@MsMsmak]

Love the fact that he comes on in a Grateful Dead T shirt. Just so chill.

[@ebrucewilliams]

I knew Brad in LA. We played chess and I knew he was "some sor t of musician". But one day we were setting up chairs for a community thing and there was a piano there. He set down and played. I was completely shocked.

[@jazzfusioner9840]

Beautiful witness...

[@flexiflexflexiflex]

2'18 is killing me ! ! ! one of the most beautiful phrases in the history of music

[@grigorygalochkin151]

Note how the tune travels, like a beam of light passing through a prism and dispersing into many colors. Brad shows us the whole spectrum of a tune.

[@Emmanuel_DH]

Exactly. He plays what cannot be heard at the first place. He is a genius

[@irumaru]

the harmonic change is like a ... i dont have words for it.

[@user-gr3by6nx2c]

Brad is like a spiritual roll over the Rock❣️🌏

[@lifeofatacocat9497]

I keep coming back to this, just brilliant

[@kurttoy5035]

The musicianship of Brad Mehldau is always a pleasure to listen to and enjoy!

[@darnfirefingers]

I never had male crushes until this guy!!! I’m at awe!!!

[@SupraBow]

Music really is the healing force of the universe...

[@UltimateByte]

*of human beings Some modesty is always welcome.

[@xtzyshuadog]

*This song in its original form was taken for the theme song of House M.D.*

[@lifeoftennis1285]

UltimateByte And how is it not modest to say the universe? Who knows what other creatures there are in the ever expanding universe.

[@chrisrybka4566]

No Jesus Christ is the real healing force of the universe.

[@davidedwards8669]

Yes this kind of music through the geniusness likes of Brad M

[@dylanapivor3743]

Mehldau is a real creative force

[@rosalbaoliva3294]

[@notallthosewhowanderarelos7638]

This is f***ng incredible.

[@oleksandr.borysov]

Absolutely amazing. Listening this track threw me in the trip to the deepest parts of my mind.

[@MisterstereoOso]

Well that’s the most fantastic piano performance I HAVE ever seen, effing mind blowing ...........

[@tomashradil3994]

Read a quote a bunch of years ago. Now it just popped up in my head: In life and jazz, there are no wrong notes

[@jaquito1946]

Monk

[@jarodquintillius7547]

que c est beau

[@davidedwards8669]

You are either being funny or a dill, I'm sure just being funny it has to make sense a genius like this guy can make anything sound extraordinary

[@ericsierra-franco7802]

The discordant notes are not "wrong notes".

[@mkf628]

there are wrong notes.

[@tpstrat14]

that one descending, resolving note at 1:56 sends shivers down my spine. It is an ultimate equilibrium that is reached and a very real sense of peace is restored in my soul when I hear it. I'm sorry if I'm being overdramatic about a song, but music means that much to me

[@jmimsy1589]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERY SONG Brad performed at this venue.... I totally wish I were there!!!! Hey Brad consider coming through Tennessee....say like Nashville......Say like during March, around my birthday to play for me??? A great idea!

[@arnaudperucca3449]

Beyond words, pure genius

[@danielbjornmo3066]

Brad is playing sooooo good, amazing

[@ellenmacisaac8312]

Man, this goes from a pop cover to full-on Phillip Glass via classical music in there somewhere.

[@2012musicanoar]

Brad Mehldau, como sempre maravilhoso no piano, interpretação... Vídeo com ótima imagem!

[@sofianoiti]

"Teardrop" (lyrics) (Massive Attack sung by Liz Fraser) Love, love is a verb Love is a doing word Fearless on my breath Gentle impulsion Shakes me, makes me lighter Fearless on my breath Teardrop on the fire Fearless on my breath Night, night after day Black flowers blossom Fearless on my breath Black flowers blossom Fearless on my breath Teardrop on the fire Fearless on my... Water is my eye Most faithful mirror Fearless on my breath Teardrop on the fire Of a confession Fearless on my breath Most faithful mirror Fearless on my breath Teardrop on the fire Fearless on my breath You stumble in the dark You stumble in the dark

[@mario.b.]

[@jeffersonbastosquirino722]

Marvellous...the great performance makes me remind of Tom Jobim smoothnes as in the Bossa Nova era...

[@gradient8951]

Wow, Incredible awesome , great artist

[@rnaj64]

4:35 is like launching me into deep, bright space

[@gustavogitti3984]

For me too! I saw him 3 times in live concerts and that's exactly what I've said at the end: "He has just sent me to the sky."

[@mojooftheg5961]

Wow. This is piano noodling taken to an art form.

[@julianklietz6558]

I need Brad on Piano and Jose Gonzales on vocals in the studio right now please

[@menevetsny]

The voicing is incredible. It's like he's got ten hands.

[@menevetsny]

The opening bass he could just play with one hand, but he's using both it's so seamless.

[@cooldebt]

And at least 2 brains

[@silvav3621]

my absolutely favorite

[@stephanniecampos1746]

My Gosh! This is an amazing cover version of Teardrop, actually it is wonderful

Wonderful!!!

[@bettykremer1865]

Fantastic!

[@federicocarroli]

Maravilloso!

[@guyfidelity]

The rhythmic nature of his phrasing is quite impressive. It sells it for my me, but as a drummer I am a little bit biased.

[@ferperez1130]

incredible...

[@LuchoBenotto]

[@fabriziogoina365]

Pianista numero 1 !!!!!1

[@aneros988]

But like around 3 minutes. Seriously.. what is happening here?? I've never heard anything like this before. So blown away and intrigued

[@coolcat24s]

this song always helps clear my head

[@cohodas208c]

Brad!

[@0Crystalin0]

Splendid.

[@fabiobonetta5454]

My oh my....

[@brusselsnews212]

Deos: that's because he doesnt play music for the clients of a boutique hotel's lounge bar. Dissonance like this are meant to have an emotional impact on the listener.

[@dawnriddler]

finally someone gets it!

[@johnimusic12]

Brussels News Its an acquired taste. I grew to love Mehldau but both opinions are legit..

[@cesarllamas339]

EXCELENTE

[@RomoloCennamo]

Magic

[@marb2]

muy bueno!!!

[@kmilo901001]

Moorhead would be proud of his song.

[@user-tp9hc8iv2x]

ARTIST...

[@FaustoScirchioMusic]

Meraviglioso.

[@rogerforeman5737]

Why is this entire concert not available on DVD somewhere.....? This and his cover of "Bittersweet Symphony/Smells Like Teen Spirit" are truly outrageous.

[@EarlOfMaladyCrescent]

Wow! I'd never heard of this musician until a few days ago, (off of a random person who follows a Facebook group I also follow). I like the song "Teardrop". This version is amazing! It seems to go off in a different direction, but it works really well. I'm very impressed at 4:36! You kept up that chord vamping, at that constant speed, for one & a half minutes! Very strong wrists!

[@giuseppedipuppo4336]

Grande

[@gingerjoy8954]

[@estudioquadra]

The only one artist with four hands... two are invisible. No there other way to explain this.
