¡BRAD MEHLDAU TRIO
Description
[Machine Translation] Brad Meldreau, the No.1 jazz pianist in terms of both popularity and ability, is back with a new album! This is his first studio album in 7 years with the trio of Larry Grenadier (Ba.) and Jeff Ballard (Ds.)! Ode" is a new album of original compositions by the Brad Meldor Trio. This is the trio's first new studio album since "Day Is Done" in 2005, and the trio's first live album since their 2008 show at the Village Vanguard, and features 11 new, previously unreleased compositions by Meldor. The trio consists of Brad Meldor on piano, Jeff Ballard on drums, and Larry Grenadier on bass. Ode is a collection of original compositions written by Larry, Jeff, and myself for the trio," said Meldreau. I don't think you can separate the songs from the musical elements they bring to the performance. Most of the songs are tributes to someone, and I have come to see them as 'epic' or 'poetic' in nature. But in our case, we're singing without those nasty words," he further explains. The songs are about the late saxophonist Michael Brecker ("M.B."), a character from the movie "Easy Rider" ("Eulogy for George Hanson"), and guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel, among others.
