“Brad Mehldau is one of the most influential and acclaimed jazz pianists alive today. His many recordings feature a wide range of jazz and American popular song standards, but he is also known to interpret music that lies outside the typical jazz catalogue.” – NPR, Fresh Air
“Mehldau has forged a singular style that has not only enhanced jazz’s musical vocabulary but modernized it too.” – Mojo
World renowned pianist, Brad Mehldau, expands the language between genres with an homage to the late indie folk artist, Elliott Smith, whose music inspired a generation of songwriters, joined by Chris Thile (mandolin / vocal), Blake Mills (guitar / vocal), Matt Chamberlain (drums), and John Davis (bass). This lauded band is backed by the 17-piece USC Thornton Chamber Virtuosi on Mehldau’s rich cinematic arrangements.
