BRAD MEHLDAU TRIO
7.30pm
Barbican
––––––––––––––––––––––––
“Brad Mehldau is the doyen of contemporary jazz pianists,” says The Guardian. He’s a renowned solo performer, who has also worked with artists as varied as Willie Nelson and Charlie Haden, but is perhaps at his finest when leading his trio, featuring Jeff Ballard and Larry Grenadier. They return to the Festival performing from their latest Nonesuch album Where Do You Start.
