Brad Mehldau
Although Brad Mehldau is best known as a jazz composer and improviser, he has made several albums that break the conventional jazz genre, including his 2001 Largo, produced by Jon Brion. Widely textured and grand in scale, it features brass or woodwind ensembles on various tracks, as well as a heavy emphasis on powerful drums.
In 2010, Nonesuch released their second collaboration with Brion, Highway Rider, which includes performances by the Mehldau trio, drummer Jeff Ballard and bassist Larry Grenadier, as well as drummer Matt Chamberlain, saxophonist Joshua Redman, and a chamber orchestra conducted by Dan Coleman. Mehldau also orchestrated and arranged the album’s fifteen pieces for the ensemble.
Mehldau’s 2014 collaboration with Mark Guiliana, Mehliana: Taming the Dragon, featured Mehldau on Fender Rhodes and synthesizers and Guiliana on drums and effects, playing twelve original tracks, six by the duo and six by Mehldau. His 2019 album Finding Gabriel featured performances by him on piano, synthesizers, percussion, and Fender Rhodes, as well as vocals. Guest musicians included Ambrose Akinmusire, Sara Caswell, Kurt Elling, Joel Frahm, Mark Guiliana, Gabriel Kahane, and Becca Stevens, among others.
