Brad Mehldau - Live in Marciac

LIVE IN MARCIAC, a two-CD/one DVD set, is pianist and composer Brad Mehldaus second collection of live solo recordings, joining LIVE IN TOYKO in his Nonesuch catalogue.

This engrossing set, from a summer festival in Marciac, France, features both Mehldau originals and his ruminative explorations of material from such artists and writers as Nick Drake, Radiohead, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and Kurt Cobain, along with American Songbook classics from Cole Porter and Rogers and Hammerstein. The accompanying film offers a beautifully rendered, pianos-eye view of Mehldau from this French performance, an extraordinarily up-close opportunity to observes his hands - and mind - at work.
