iTunes Review

The title refers not only to the Nick Drake cover on this, Brad Mehldau’s latest album, but to the relatively brief day it took the pianist’s jazz trio (with bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jeff Ballard) to record the disk. The upshot of that short, sharp session is a potent hit-and-run energy that not only sustains extended improvisational takes (Radiohead’s “Knives Out”) but offers a dynamic counterpoint to softer, more straight-on covers (a stunning rendition of Burt Bacharach’s “Alfie”).

Customer Reviews

Another fine album by Brad Mehldau

As Mehldau fans have come to expect, this is a solid combination of originals, covers and standards, showing Mehldau's excellent improvisations, and his tight trio (with a new drummer for this album). The iTunes version contains two extra songs that are not on the CD, so, as for the Live in Tokyo album, the extras make it even more worthwhile.

Great album

This is classic Mehldau in the sense that much of it contains old songs in new time signatures and feels, like Radiohead's "Knives Out" or Paul Simon's "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover." It is a great album, extremely recommended. It's nice to hear this trio with Jeff Ballard on drums. Jorge Rossy always was a nice supplement to Mehldau, but Ballard is a great touch to the trio.

Always good to hear from BM

This is a fine record- much in the same character as the recent trio records. Perhaps an improvement in the drums on this one, even. The songs have a lost beauty to them and the arrangements are spectacular. Get it. There are few folks around doing what he does this well.

During the '90s and into the 2000s, Brad Mehldau was one among a plethora of young jazz pianists who rose to prominence. He is one of the more absorbing and thoughtful practitioners within that idiom, and he is receptive to the idea of using material from the rock era (Paul McCartney's "Blackbird," for example). Though Mehldau's training is primarily classical, his interest in jazz began early. He played in the Hall High School jazz band of Hartford, Connecticut, winning the Berklee College of Music's...
