Introduction

The genius Brad Mehldau's first live album features his 2003 solo performance in Japan.

Media Reviews and More

Jazz pianist Brad Mehldau, known for his delicate, poetic tone that contrasts sharply with his wild personality—his tattoos peek out from his sleeves as he plays the piano, and his cigarette stubbornly engrossed in his performance—is captured on his first live album, this time from his 2003 Japan performance.
