Mr.Soul Wrote:Mr. Mehldau is one of the very few who's going to take us deeper into the new century, inventively and fruitfully. Here's a review of his newest: http://www.allmusic.com/album/taming-the...0002603543
A friend just turned me onto this today. Already knew Brad through his recent work with Pat Metheny. There are some incredible cover versions here on this album I would never have dreamed of hearing, let alone liking!
One in particular is a cover of Oasis' 'Wonderwall' featuring an alternate intro and extended piano improvisation. A band not known for their musical adversity or unique creativity which is so evident in this version! Not often I'll say this but it outclasses the original in every sense of the word!
