详细介绍:
In covering the Beatles, jazz pianist Brad Mehldau chose to focus on the strangeness of the band%27s music. But as he explains in the liner notes, it%27s also the universality, present in parallel to strangeness, that makes it so inviting and influential; the combination of the two—which may also be the secret to the band%27s artistic immortality—is, according to Mehldau, what underpins his approach to this beautifully realized project. Filmed and recorded live in front of an audience at the Philharmonie de Paris, this session benefits from intelligently placed microphones and minimal applause. It was edited by Camille Grateau, mixed by Nicolas Poitrenaud, and mastered in the U.S. by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound. Though cries of sellout from jazz purists are sure-to-come, listeners will find many insights into Mehldau%27s playing and the band%27s utterly original creative universe. Opening with an unbroken suite of three tunes in their entirety (I Am The Walrus, Your Mother Should Know and I Saw Her Standing There—the last of which he plays in barrelhouse piano style), it%27s very clear that Mehldau brought immense thought, passion and especially respect for the band%27s prismatic genius to this project. He genuinely feels this music, most of which was composed on piano. Sticking relatively close to the familiar melodies, Mehldau embroiders them with a flow of ideas and chordal tangents. His improvisations never venture too far out, however, nor are they ever disconnected from any song%27s basic emotional underpinning. As is to be expected, some interpretations are more successful than others. Here, There and Everywhere, played mostly in the piano%27s highest registers, stretches and crystallizes but abruptly stops, apparently out of discovery. In other cases, Mehldau uncovers rich new veins of inspiration: He makes a high energy mini concerto out of the usually triumphant Maxwell%27s Silver Hammer, improvising high notes, adding moody journeys of improvisation, and at times snapping back into choruses where he flashes ornate New Orleans piano professor bravado. Best of all, at least for sentimentalists, is the pianist—who%27s often accused of a certain detachment and coldness in his playing—lingering over lush Paul McCartney songs like Golden Slumbers and For No One, raising their melodic purity to new heights of poignancy. A rambunctious, joyous success on every level. © Robert Baird/Qobuz
