Brad Mehldau, piano; Christian McBride, bass; Marcus Gilmore, drums

One of the most lyrical and intimate voices of contemporary jazz piano, Brad Mehldau has forged a unique path, which embodies the essence of jazz exploration, classical romanticism and pop allure. From jazz to R&B, and pop/rock and hip-hop/neo-soul to classical, nine-time GRAMMY-winning bassist, composer, and bandleader Christian McBride is a luminary with one hand ever reaching for new heights. In all of his playing, drummer/composer Marcus Gilmore integrates a unique style where he is musically expanding rhythm, while supporting the diverse array of the finest musicians in the world with whom he plays.

“Mehldau achieves an almost spiritual resonance, chords echoing like amens” – Time Magazine

McBride is one of modern jazz’s most innovative musicians.” – Glide Magazine

“he has the gift of taste…he also has a tap-dancer’s grace as a soloist” – The Arts Fuse on Marcus Gilmore
