• Chuck Obuchowski's Favorite Jazz Recordings Of 2011

  Dec 30, 2011 4:46 PM - Brad Mehldau – Live in Marciac (Nonesuch) The onetime West Hartford resident continues to hone his impressive ability to blur distinctions between musical genres: seamlessly shifting from classical precision to the jangly discord of Kurt Cobain’s “Lithium,” heard in medley with 1970s singer/songwriter Nick Drake’s hypnotic “Things Behind the Sun.” It’s all here – along with much more – on this two-disc document of a 2006 solo recital in France (A 10-song DVD from the concert is also included in the package.) Despite his staggering virtuosity, Mehldau never forgets the importance of conveying a range of emotions to his audience. There are solemn ballads (“Goodbye Storyteller”) and carefree romps (the Lennon/McCartney trifle “Martha My Dear”), even the occasional jazz standard (“Dat Dere”). Mehldau’s solo performance at the Garde Arts Center in New London last February preceded the release of this album by just two days. That event was one of the concert highlights of my year. There, he strayed even further from the usual jazz repertoire, including a 20-minute rendition of Massive Attack’s “Tear” and a poignant cover of an old Neil Young song. Full Story
