»Three Pieces After Bach«

Although Brad Mehldau was originally trained as a classical musician, he was a passionate jazz fan even in his youth. His solo recitals are characterised not only by their utterly convincing combination of the styles and elements of a wide range of musical eras, but also by Mehldau’s innovative treatment of the »Great American Songbook« and jazz standards. He has been showered with prizes, such as the Miles Davis Prize which he was awarded in 2006. And his genre-shattering re-interpretations of songs by the Beatles, Radiohead and Nirvana have won him no fewer than five Grammy nominations so far. This time Brad Mehldau embarks on a new stage of his musical journey: »Three Pieces After Bach« is the title of a project commissioned by the Carnegie Hall in New York and sees Mehldau bring his jazz improvisations to the works of the Baroque master Johann Sebastian Bach. The pianist displays his incredible talent as a masterful improviser and when he combines pieces from Bach’s »Well-Tempered Clavier« with his own compositions, he dissolves barriers.
