Reconnu aussi bien comme leader ou artiste solo, que lorsqu’il collabore avec les plus grandes têtes d’affiches internationales (Pat Metheny, Anne Sofie von Otter, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Renée Fleming, Britten Sinfonia, Joshua Redman…), Brad Mehldau ne cesse de susciter l’admiration des puristes du jazz et des mélomanes de tous bords. Ses incursions vers d’autres univers musicaux (en trio avec Larry Grenadier et Jeff Ballard, ou en solo), se sont soldées par de brillantes reprises de classiques pop (les Beatles, Cole Porter, Radiohead, George et Ira Gershwin et Nike Drake), qui viennent enrichir un répertoire de compositions personnelles toujours plus fourni. Cette attirance pour la pop music, mêlée à une formation classique, ont fait de Mehldau un artiste « unanimement reconnu comme l’un des pianistes les plus aventureux que la scène jazz ait porté ces dernières années » (Los Angeles Times). Récemment, les parutions de Mehldau chez Nonesuch ont mis en lumière les différentes facettes d’une riche carrière de près de 20 ans : albums symphoniques avec le producteur Jon Brion (Highway Rider) ; concerts live en solo (Live In Marciac) ; mélanges des genres (Modern Music, avec le pianiste/compositeur Kevin Hays et le compositeur/arrangeur Patrick Zimmerli) ; travaux avec son fameux trio (le diptyque constitué de « Ode », nommé aux Grammy, et de « Where Do You Start » est paru en 2012) ; et, plus récemment, virage électrique avec le prodigieux batteur Mark Guiliana (« Mehliana : Taming The Dragon »)..

Joshua Redman Bio
JOSHUA REDMAN BIO Joshua Redman is one of the most acclaimed and charismatic jazz artists to have emerged in the decade of the 1990s. Born in Berkeley, California, he is the son of legendary saxophonist Dewey Redman and dancer Renee Shedroff. He was exposed at an early age to a variety of musics (jazz, classical, rock, soul, Indian, Indonesian, Middle-Eastern, African) and instruments (recorder, piano, guitar, gatham, gamelan), and began playing clarinet at age nine before switching to what became his primary instrument, the tenor saxophone, one year later. The early influences of John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Cannonball Adderley and his father, Dewey Redman, as well as The Beatles, Aretha Franklin, the Temptations, Earth, Wind and Fire, Prince, The Police and Led Zeppelin drew Joshua more deeply into music. But although Joshua loved playing the saxophone and was a dedicated member of the award-winning Berkeley High School Jazz Ensemble and Combo from 1983-86, academics were always his first priority, and he never seriously considered becoming a professional musician. In 1991 Redman graduated from Harvard College summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa with a B.A. in Social Studies. He had already been accepted by Yale Law School, but deferred entrance for what he believed was only going to be one year. Some of his friends (former students at the Berklee College of Music whom Joshua had met while in Boston) had recently relocated to Brooklyn, and they were looking for another housemate to help with the rent. Redman accepted their invitation to move in, and almost immediately he found himself immersed in the New York jazz scene.

Brad Mehldau with Britten Sinfonia
Brad Mehldau with Britten Sinfonia Start time: 7.30pm Running time: 1 hour 40 minutes including interval Bach arr. Stravinsky - Prelude & Fugue X (5’) Bach arr. Coleman - Prelude in B minor (5’) Brad Mehldau - Solo improvisations (c.6’) Bach arr. Webern - Fuga (2. Ricercata) (11’) Brad Mehldau - Solo improvisations (c.6’) Bach arr. Berio - Contrapunctus XIX for small ensemble (8’) Interval 20’ Brad Mehldau – Piano Concerto (35’) All times are approximate and subject to change Jazz pianist Brad Mehldau has recorded and performed extensively since the early 1990s. Mehldau’s most consistent output over the years has taken place in the trio format. Starting in 1996, his group released a series of five records on Warner Bros. entitled The Art of the Trio (recently re-packaged and re-released as a 5-Disc box set by Nonesuch in late 2011). During that same period, Mehldau also released a solo piano recording entitled Elegiac Cycle, and a record called Places that included both solo piano and trio songs. Elegiac Cycle and Places might be called ‘concept’ albums made up exclusively of original material with central themes that hover over the compositions. Other Mehldau recordings include Largo, a collaborative effort with the innovative musician and producer Jon Brion, and Anything Goes — a trio outing with bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jorge Rossy. His first record for Nonesuch, Brad Mehldau Live in Tokyo, was released in September 2004. After ten rewarding years with Rossy playing in Mehldau’s regular trio, drummer Jeff Ballard joined the band in 2005. The label released its first album from the Brad Mehldau Trio—Day is Done —on September 27, 2005.

To their credit Rainey and company comfortably negotiate the thorny rhythmic structure, which sees each participant progressing in jerky seclusion, though corralled by an unstated but common pulse. Here as elsewhere Rainey demarcates light and shade with a variety of strokes, Behind Her Eyes effortlessly moving in and out of time behind zimmerli’s Peter Ehwald/Stefan Schultze/Tom Rainey (Jazzwerkstatt) fluttering tenor saxophone and Kevin Hays’ flowing Shores Against Silence piano lines. Rainey sounds very straightahead at this Patrick Zimmerli Quartet (Songlines) juncture, most clearly on the loping “Soft Blues”, by John Sharpe though he injects an irreverent quirkiness into that. He’s at his most personal in the drum features that Although drummer Tom Rainey boasts a long and adorn tracks like “Conceptualysis”, with its seemingly illustrious career, until recently sessions under his own accelerating and retarding beats, and the Monkish name were rare. So if you want to hear him at length “Athena”, though he still works purposefully within you need to search out his dates with other leaders. the parameters of the separate compositions. While Rainey resides at the center of a stellar local scene, one of the reasons his discography is so extensive For more information, visit jazzwerkstatt.eu and is his openness to connections outside that locale. songlines.com.

El Pianista Brad Mehldau, Leyenda Viva Del Jazz, Llegará Al Lunario En Noviembre
México D.F., domingo 25 de octubre de 2015 EL PIANISTA BRAD MEHLDAU, LEYENDA VIVA DEL JAZZ, LLEGARÁ AL LUNARIO EN NOVIEMBRE Se presentará con su trío, integrado por el bajista Larry Grenadier y el baterista Jeff Ballard Refrendará el éxito de sus actuaciones en 2010 y 2012 en este mismo escenario Considerado uno de los mejores pianistas de todos los tiempos, ofrecerá concierto el próximo 5 de noviembre Leyenda viviente del jazz, el pianista estadounidense Brad Mehldau retornará el próximo jueves 5 de noviembre al Lunario del Auditorio Nacional. Esta vez vendrá con su trío, integrado por los también legendarios Larry Grenadier (bajo) y Jeff Ballard (batería). Brad Mehldau es uno de los pianistas más importantes de los últimos tiempos. Puesto al nivel de figuras como Bill Evans y Keith Jarret, ha revolucionado la historia mundial del jazz y de ello dieron cuenta sus exitosas presentaciones en el Lunario en marzo de 2010, como solista, y en mayo de 2012 acompañado también entonces por Grenadier y Ballard. Músico fuera de serie, que en gran medida gusta de la improvisación y la composición espontánea, Mehldau promete grandes sorpresas para su gran regreso el 5 de noviembre al foro alterno del Auditorio Nacional. “Todas las composiciones serán anunciadas desde el escenario”, ofrece para empezar este pianista que ha recorrido el mundo entero con su altísima capacidad de estructura musical. Mehldau, coinciden los críticos, posee una personalidad musical única, valora en gran medida el asombro que puede producirse a partir de una idea musical espontánea que se expresa directamente, en tiempo real y mientras toca.
