Brad Mehldau
Piano Solo on
From This Moment On

About

Brad Mehldau's piano solo is the opening of 2 solos on this recording, before Christian McBride's closing acoustic bass statement. Spanning three choruses of the 68-bar AABA' form at a brisk 330 BPM with a swing feel in F, the solo runs approximately 2:33. The 68-bar AABA-prime form in F minor provides an extended harmonic canvas that Mehldau fills with three choruses of technically astounding piano improvisation, demonstrating the kind of virtuosity and harmonic command that established him as one of the most formidable pianists of his generation. Brad Mehldau was 24 to 25 years old at the time of this 1995 recording.
