Product Description When this young pianist burst onto the '90s jazz scene, he created quite a stir. Outside of free/avant-garde jazz, there hadn't been a piano player this strikingly distinctive for a long time. Mehldau's obvious forebears are people like Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett. Like them, he edges closer to the style of French impressionists such as Debussy than to any blues-based tradition. On such standards as 'My Romance and 'It Might as Well be Spring,' Mehldau spins out gauzy harmonies and elegant melodic lines that venture far from the musical language used to construct the tunes.

Mehldau's interaction with his trio is an integral aspect of his work; drummer Jorge Rossy's endlessly percolating rhythms, based around intricate ride cymbal work, interlock seamlessly with Mehldau's panoramic playing and Larry Grenadier's knotty, forceful bass lines. INTRODUCING unleashed on the world the kind of artist that comes along only once per generation. Personnel: Brad Mehldau (piano); Christian McBride, Larry Grenadier (bass); Brian Blade, Jorge Rossy (drums). Personnel: Brad Mehldau (piano); Jorge Rossy, Brian Blade (drums).

Pianist Brad Mehldau's debut as a leader features his straight-ahead style in trios with either Larry Grenadier or Christian McBride on bass and Jorge Rossy or Brian Blade on drums. The well-rounded set is highlighted by tasteful and swinging versions of five standards (including John Coltrane's 'Countdown,' 'It Might As Well Be Spring,' and 'From This Moment On') and four of the pianist's originals.

This CD (which is sometimes available at a budget price) serves as a fine start to what should be a productive career. ~ Scott Yanow.
