Brad Mehldau • Where Do You Start

 

The companion piece to Brad Mehldau's other 2012 album, the all-original Ode, Where Do You Start features the pianist's trio covering material by other artists. Included are cuts by such eclectic non-jazz artists as Sufjan Stevens, Chico Buarque, and Jimi Hendrix. Also featured, however, are some choice jazz standards with Clifford Brown's "Brownie Speaks" and Sonny Rollins' "Airegin." Joining Mehldau here are his longtime cohorts bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jeff Ballard. Clearly, the members of this trio have a sympathetic, almost psychic connection, and it is never anything but pleasurable to hear them interact. As Mehldau has spent much of his time either recording his original songs or covering a variety of contemporary pop songs, some listeners might breathe a sigh of relief to hear him stretch out on the more traditional jazz standards here. Of course, tracks like his poignant take on Elvis Costello and Cat O'Riordan's "Baby Plays Around" and his earthy reworking of Nick Drake's "Time Has Told Me" are as revelatory as any of his other pop reinventions. Ultimately, Where Do You Start is an intimate, impressionistic, and probing release that should certainly appeal to longtime fans of Mehldau's nuanced jazz style.

La pieza que acompaña al otro álbum de 2012 de Brad Mehldau, el original Ode, Where Do You Start presenta al trío del pianista versionando material de otros artistas. Se incluyen cortes de artistas tan eclécticos como Sufjan Stevens, Chico Buarque y Jimi Hendrix. Sin embargo, también se incluyen algunos estándares de jazz con "Brownie Speaks" de Clifford Brown y "Airegin" de Sonny Rollins. Acompañan a Mehldau sus compañeros de siempre, el bajista Larry Grenadier y el batería Jeff Ballard. Está claro que los miembros de este trío tienen una conexión simpática, casi psíquica, y nunca deja de ser placentero escucharlos interactuar. Como Mehldau ha pasado gran parte de su tiempo grabando sus canciones originales o versionando una variedad de canciones pop contemporáneas, algunos oyentes podrían respirar aliviados al oírle extenderse en los estándares de jazz más tradicionales aquí. Por supuesto, temas como su conmovedora versión de "Baby Plays Around" de Elvis Costello y Cat O'Riordan y su terrenal reelaboración de "Time Has Told Me" de Nick Drake son tan reveladores como cualquiera de sus otras reinvenciones pop. En definitiva, Where Do You Start es un disco íntimo, impresionista y profundo que sin duda atraerá a los fans de siempre del estilo de jazz matizado de Mehldau.
