Brad Mehldau

Mehldau plays original compositions, jazz standards and popular music. He has written, played, and recorded as leader of the Brad Mehldau Trio with bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jeff Ballard, who replaced Jorge Rossy in 2005. He's also played and recorded solo and with co-leaders Peter Bernstein, Mark Turner, Charlie Haden, and others. In 2004, Mehldau toured with Kurt Rosenwinkel and Joshua Redman.

Mehldau is sometimes compared with Bill Evans but dislikes the comparison, explaining why in the liner notes of The Art of the Trio IV. He is also compared to Keith Jarrett, but he describes Jarrett's solo work more as an inspiration than an influence. Mehldau partially lists his influences as Miles Davis, Larry Goldings, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Jesse Davis, David Sanchez, and the other two members of his own trio.
