BRAD MEHLDAU / THE ART OF THE TRIO . 1997-2001.(Box Set)

Calidad FLAC

Brad Mehldau released five Art of the Trio volumes with bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jorge Rossy between 1997 and 2001. Three were recorded live at the Village Vanguard. The fifth volume contained two CDs. This box set collects them all, and adds a seventh CD of previously unreleased music from the Vanguard. There is a long liner-note essay by Ethan Iverson of the Bad Plus. It contains insights that could only be provided by another jazz pianist who came up in the Mehldau Era, which is what, in jazz-piano-trio terms, the late 1990s can legitimately be called.
