Closing Concert: Brad Mehldau, solo

Experiencing Brad Mehldau perform solo is an event of profoundly moving significance. His universalist approach to art and the world—which has also been reflected in his inspiring essays for many years—makes his music one of the most evocative of our time. With almost lavish abundance, the pianist strings together musical philosophies that transcend himself, whose masterful storytelling seems to condense into an almost cinematic quality and continually opens up new visual worlds. Mehldau’s solo playing is the rare stroke of luck that is complexity distilled into essence, in which everything reveals itself: from the pure idea to its realization in at times breathtaking opulence. Brad Mehldau has created a form of musical beauty all his own. You listen to this music as if it were a person. It will linger long in the memory, which is why it is the perfect closing concert for Enjoy Jazz .
