Brad Mehldau was another of the overplus of offspring jazz pianists in the '90s to adopt Bill Evans as their role model. Yet spell the influence of Evans still soundly dominates Mehldau's self-examining manner, harmonic constructions, and preferred format (the pianissimo triple), he is unitary of the more riveting and thoughtful practitioners inside that set phrase, and he is receptive to the estimate of using material from the rock eRA (Saint Paul McCartney's "New World blackbird," for example). Though Mehldau's grooming is primarily definitive, his stake in jazz began early. He played in the Hall High School jazz set of Hartford, CT, victorious Berklee College's Best All-Around Musician Award spell still in his junior year of senior high school schoolhouse. He studied jazz at New York's New School for Social Research under Fred Hersch, Junior Mance, Kenny Werner, and Jimmy Cobb. Cobb presently hired him to play in his lot, Cobb's Mob, and Mehldau likewise played and recorded with the Joshua Redman Quartet earlier forming his have trio in 1994 and recording his number 1 Warner Bros. album,

Places followed in 2000, consisting of all original compositions that focussed on a certain city, hence the title of the record album. Another
Prowess of the Trio album came in 2001, merely the to the highest degree significant button was
Largo, which recorded Mehldau playacting with other groups external of his usual deuce-ace format. This was a big change from his old puzzle out, and offered new challenges as he altered to various interesting card situations. Mehldau followed the genre-bending album with the standards-based
Anything Goes and
Live in Tokyo in 2004, with
Twenty-four hour period Is Done arriving the following class. In 2006, he released
House on Hill as well as
