I like Brad Mehldau. I am glad I have had the privilege to watch him once live in Los Angeles.

Mehldau, Grenadier, Ballard during a week at the Vanguard when everything was working. The trio is driving in these live recordings. Jeff Ballard may have taken a season to integrate with longtime collaborators Mehldau and Grenadier. Their style is more direct/forward. When the improvisation moves toward the free/dissonant, Mehldau's playing evolves into compelling/catchy original passages. Complicated but direct; cerebral but grounded. I'm not likely to dance to it, but it demands a physical reaction.

Sensational on every level-- Rhythms, melodies, sounds

HIGHLY SUPERIOR TRIO MUSIC (4-1/2* out of 5*)

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2018

BM, p; Larry Grenadier, b; Jeff Ballard, dr.

Recorded live at the Village Vanguard in 2006, this double album is an example of why people respond so positively to Brad Mehldau and his trio mates, bassist Grenadier and drummer Ballard. Mehldau is a fine pianist: he has technique to burn, plays out of the Bill Evans bag but not too closely and more and more not closely at all, and he picks songs wisely, mixing jazz standards (here, John Coltrane’s “Countdown” and Jimmy Heath’s “C. T. A.”), songs from the great American songbook (“More Than You Know,” “The Very Thought of You”), his own originals, and quirky choices from groups like Radiohead et al. (on this album, its songs by Brazilian composer Chico Buarque, Oasis’s Noel Gallagher and Soundgardens/Audioslave’s Chris Cornell). At his best –and he is at his best in this album—Mehldau manages to combine musicality and intellectualism, producing a music of structure and meaning but also feeling. Grenadier and Ballard have played with him long enough to know where he’s going and what he needs to get there. The result is piano trio playing at its best. Having written that, and no disrespect to Ballard, I prefer Mehldau’s first drummer, Jorge Rossy, to Ballard. I think he played subtler. But that’s a small potatoes criticism of an altogether admirable release.

They Take Their Music To A Bold New Expression!

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2014

Once again, The Brad Mehldau Trio have deeply impressed the music world
with another groundbreaking masterpiece where they released this lavish 2-CD
that captures them at their most ebullient while the master jazz pianist bring his
original artistry to new high mark in world class excellence. Again recorded live
at The Village Vanguard in 2006 and then released in 2008, The Brad Mehldau
Trio Live finds them increasing their open-mindedness and redefining their own
simplicity contrasts with sophisticated complexity as the trio expand their music
expansion even further that’s packed with stunning new compositions and solid
takes on classic standards, and the music enters new territories freer than any-
thing else that they approached before. Starting off with a brief introduction, the
complex track set begins on Oasis’ Wonderwall as it is proceeded with a set of
outstanding “new” compositions, like Ruby’s Rub, B Flat Waltz, Buddha Realm,
Fit Cat and Secret Beach, as well as other standards like O Que Sera, his neo-
classical version on Ray Noble’s The Very Thought Of You, Thelonious Monk’s
Skippy, a slick version of C.T.A., Benny Goodman’s More Than You Know and,
surprisingly, a 23-minute reindition of Black Hole Sun. With Larry Grenadier as
the trio’s pivot point and foundation, The Brad Mehldau Trio Live showcase the
trio’s first rate musicianship as they take yet another aesthetic drive that makes
this masterpiece such an exceptional milestone in jazz. Refined with simplicity
and cosmopolitan dynamics, this live performances can also be compared with
standard-setting improvised grand piano stylings of George Shearing and Keith
Jarrett, there is truly hardly a dull moment as the landmark achievement is well-
perpetuated with unrelented growth and the harmonic distinction as this classic
live recording remains a timeless testament for the great Brad Mehldau.

le nouveau trio de brad mehldau au village vanguard...

Reviewed in France on May 28, 2008

Verified Purchase

Ce double compact présente un double intérêt : d'abord, il s’agit d’un « live ». Rien de mieux qu'un enregistrement (ici un double compact) capté lors d’un concert, histoire de mesurer les prises de risque d'un artiste avec son collectif. Le deuxième intérêt, c'est que le trio de Brad Mehldau est avec celui de Keith Jarrett de ceux qui déclenchent toutes les passions et velléités imaginables. Adoré au début, boudé par la suite, jugé trop sentimental par les uns, trop minimaliste par les autres, l'ami Brad n'a pas fini de déclencher les polémiques... Si depuis le début des années 90, le pianiste ne cesse d'explorer le format du trio (le format qui semble le mieux lui convenir), il n'hésite pas non plus à explorer d'autres formats (le solo, le quintette). Aussi, pour beaucoup de mélomanes, c'est peut-être en tant que « sideman » qu'il est le plus efficace... Ses disques aux côtés de Charles Lloyd ( The Water Is Wide , ECM, 1999), Lee Konitz et Charlie Haden ( Alone Together , Blue Note, 1997) ou encore Joshua Redman ( Mood Swing , Warner, 1994) sont là pour en témoigner par exemple.

Enregistré entre les 11 et 15 octobre 2006 au Village Vanguard, le club mythique de New-York où il se produit régulièrement, son trio tout acoustique de piano, contrebasse, batterie donne à entendre un triangle au sommet de son art. Mais de mon point de vue, cette série de concerts comme en témoigne ce double compact est à la fois passionnant et déconcertant... Passionnant parce que la rythmique semble enfin bien huilée. Depuis l'album studio Day Is Done (Nonesuch, 2004), le batteur, ça n'est plus Jorge Rossy mais Jeff Ballard (frappes sèches et un sens de la relance). Aussi, on atteint un côté jubilatoire et paroxystique dans des morceaux tels que « C.T.A. » ou encore « Fit Cat », des morceaux d'un dynamisme et d'une rare flexibilité, autant de titres dignes des grandes rythmiques de Miles... Combien de fois n'ai-je pas songé à celle composée de Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Tony Williams ?

Mais d'un autre côté, cet enregistrement est déconcertant parce qu'il présente un choix parfois banal (du moins, à mon goût) en ce qui concerne deux ou trois compositions : « Wonderwall » de Gallagher (du groupe pop Oasis) ou encore « O Que Serà » de Chico Buarque nous renvoient à de la pure variété, voire à ce que j'appellerais trivialement du « claydermanisme »... Et là, c’est presque rédhibitoire. Bref, voici un enregistrement qui commence sur du plutôt bien (« Wonderwall ») mais qui est heureusement sauvé à partir du tiers du concert (le magnifique « Black Hole Sun », un morceau passionnant de près de 23 minutes). Un seul disque aurait suffi à mon avis, mais c'est faire fi de la campagne promotionnelle qui entoure le pianiste (concerts solo prévus cet été à Marciac, concert en duo avec Hank Jones au festival de Baltica, concerts en trio à Montreal, etc.). Avec le recul, on se dit que les trios produit par Matt Pierson (la série des « Art of The Trio », notamment les captations « live » sorties il y a quelques années) étaient mieux réalisés, plus modestes, et captaient vraiment le meilleur (voir notamment The Art of the Trio, volume 4 ). A suivre, donc. J'ai hésité en 3 et 4 étoiles.
