Brad Mehldau Trio - Seymour Reads the Constitution! / vinyl LP

The pianist and his longtime trio, which includes drummer Jeff Ballard and bassist Larry Grenadier, perform three Mehldau originals combined with interpretations of pop songs (Paul McCartney, Brian Wilson), jazz tunes (Elmo Hope, Sam Rivers), and one work from the American songbook (Frederick Loewe's "Almost Like Being in Love").

"This is sumptuous, collective improvisation of the highest order," exclaims The Arts Desk in a five-star review. "Mehldau's stylistic range is astonishing ... It's so good, it sounds effortless ... Gorgeous."

"There are few artists plying their trade in these trying times whose music can be described as transformative. The Brad Mehldau Trio manages this feat at nearly every stop on their wildly popular world tours and once again with a new release," says the Christian Science Monitor. "Brad Mehldau and his mates make it all sound effortless and imbued with the joy of discovery."
