BRAD MEHLDAU...RADIOHEAD

sprung, fully formed from the skulls of Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk and Keith Jarrett! His "Bach-like" works, which have each hand playing a separate melody, are the most mesmerizing of his improvisational compositions, flowing from the glowing embers of Art Tatum and the lava of Herbie Hancock.........He has a room in my heart....  .......more like a jazz Glenn Gould here.....and playing a better piano!
