Brad Mehldau

Brad Mehldau is, of course, one of the finest and most adventurous jazz pianists around.” –The Guardian

An unexpected and powerful melodic journey is Mehldau’s celebrated hallmark in his prolific original works, jazz standards and inspired covers (with selections ranging from Radiohead to Alice in Chains to Barbra Streisand, to name a few). The Grammy®-winning jazz pianist broke onto the jazz scene in his early 20s, working as a sideman for Wayne Shorter and John Scofield, and touring with saxophonist Joshua Redman, and immediately stunned audiences with his mesmerizing innovation and staggering originality. This year’s series-opening performance marks Mehldau's debut on our intimate BlueShore at Cap home stage.
