Brad Mehldau - Teardrop (Jazz á Vienne 2010 - video)

[michnique]

7 people have their own piano covers of "Teardrop" posted on Youtube.

[glucksig]

beautiful but, no groove no jazz...

[manoleitorfive]

I like it!!

[czechlin]

Words can't describe, at least not well enough.

[andi74656]

Absolutely stunning.

[SrtaQuark]

I'll take a cold shower

[totallyfuckingdead]

hey brad DO YOU WORK OUT?

[jrodjohn]

very messy??? you must be ooff your head son this is magical. Brad can express himself like no other possible the guy's on a different level i think he might be an alien

[lupommes1]

mi...ia!!!



[TheZdenska]

"Grateful dead" t shirt :)

[ambphysis]

Flawless until 2:35. Why do some jazz players insist on screwing up?

[galabadur]

@ambphysis I believe that is the most brilliant part... I even took those ideas to see how they can be expressed through the guitar as an instrument.

Matter of taste i guess...

[TallManUTube]

@ambphysis he doesn't screw up once. There is just a lot of dissonance. It's a stylistic choice.

[ambphysis]

@TallManUTube Yeah, like those bugs that are not bugs, but "features", if you know what I mean...

[cartwro]

Is Brad Mehldau the coolest person on the planet?

I think this video makes the answer fairly obvious

[zimonh]

@gvantsabibo are you sarcastic or retarded?

[JasnisChoulicr]

Wow...... that was pretty amazing! 

[gvantsabibo]

yesterday I have been to his concert! when he started playing THIS my heart started beating I think 100 times a minute! now I am the happiest person in the world!!! thanks Brad!

[TheMrPianoJazz]

beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[Lassesteff]

@Seanklang I'm sorry, what!?! Brad has been clean for many years now. 

[Seanklang]

@Lassesteff

I stand corrected. And apologise. Dumb comment.

[Kabla21]

@Seanklang U mean drunk with music ? :P :D

[Seanklang]

@Kabla21

Yes, I'll go with that. Who am I to say - having been a drunk in both respects. Just not his best performance is all Kabla 21 - check out the art of trio albums if you hav'nt already. :J :Ml

[guezou]

@Seanklang i'll agree with you. Very messy performance : covering Massive Attack is not enough o make it a great performance.

[RandomMocker]

@guezou Idiot, where's the mess? This is flawless. Before you say the minor 2nd clashes, they're entirely deliberate.

[drebubbles]

@Seanklang fail

Brad Mehldau FTW!

[Seanklang]

@drebubbles Yup - if one can't say something good, should say nothing at all. Taken my own advice.

[shrimpfarmersunion]

Is this the new "Koln concert"?

[solo1y]

@shrimpfarmersunion No.

[dstefano]

OMG!



[castrosfidel]

Does he have two separate brains for his both hands? Stunning!

[ConfidentialRumors]

Stunning!

[anitadavideduo]

G R E A T ! ! ! !

[flunger]

does anybody knows how to get this video?

[MyBottletree]

@flunger

Try "unplug" an application for the firefox browser

[1337x2egal]

Woah ! I love this guy ... best moment ever 2:20 => 2:31

[eintracht51]

Pianos were developed just for such amazing sounds :) This is art !

[JohnWoo]

Hehe. His shirt reminds me of something House would wear.

[chiaragallana]

I JUST CRIED AT THE POWER OF MUSIC. his face tells everything that needs to be told about this.

[netchecker3]

uuhhh how about hitting the right tones?

[joostman16]

@netchecker3 u don't get it

[kazzbeable]

Beautiful

[Hilwasmine]

I love you (lol)

[hipsterpictures]

The first time I saw this I was awestruck by the music, the second time I couldn't knock the feeling that he looks like Hugh Laurie as House from the neck down, every additional time is just bliss :)

[dfoggin]

@hipsterpictures Know what you mean, and kind of suitable since the original is the theme tune!

[MrAx10]

I am so happy to see so many people at a jazzconcert! Attetion to jazz music and music in general is very needed and a rare sight these days.

[Leheno]

couldnt stop myself from beatboxing at the start lol

[00Surak00]

Thanks for posting this, really

[WorldOfPainArchitect]

I can´t help myself, but this tunes reminds me of Jarrett´s "Köln Concert"..

[TheNickcc]

love the grateful dead t shirt!

[TheMrPianoJazz]

beautiful......



[MrNicolasz]

piano sound is amazing!

great piano and pianist!

[pjustusxi]

"F'ing ridiculous" is a compliment, just as Miles Davis called players he liked MF'ers.

[Intravert]

wish he covered Cymbaline from Pink Floyd....

[basilkar]

Shit, the guy's getting old...

[jmussuto]

esplendido Brad:) como de costumbre:)

[strike747]

awesome

[TehWinnerz]

Brad is fucking ridiculous but I'm personally getting a little tired with hearing this kind of thing from him

[daves9377]

@TehWinnerz Then don't hear him. But let us -the ones who actually know about jazz- enjoy it.

[TehWinnerz]

@daves9377 what a terrible reply. You're assuming that I don't know about jazz because I made an opinion on Brad? What an absolutely lame thing to say. 

[daves9377]

@TehWinnerz Whoever says such things on such a great, avantgarde, openmind, classic trained, extremly sensible, virtuoso, and by now jazz legend, musician is "fucking ridiculous", at least, to me.

[TehWinnerz]

@daves9377 Brad is one of my very favourite musicians of all time. He's an unbelievable pianist and improviser. All I was saying that his outro on this performance sounds very similar to a lot of other outros that he's done and I'm not so excited by it anymore. Sorry that it upset you so much.

[daves9377]

@TehWinnerz Peace. Sorry if I said something that upset you too.

[rauldukeIII]

@TehWinnerz Really? So beautiful, simple melodies handled by a master in new and unprecedented ways are tiresome? What you have him do instead?

[TehWinnerz]

@rauldukeIII sorry - should have specified - I meant his outro. Just sounds very similar to a lot of his solo piano outros on various solo/trio albums. I should say again that I think Brad is absolutely amazing...and this is the only thing that I can think of that I don't like so much myself...

[kmbackid]

@TehWinnerz ya, remember the exit music days?

[JeffreyMulac8]

So beautiful, showing that simple songs are the most difficult, he plays it so perfectly. I love Highway Rider, and I also am a big fan of Vijay Iyer, a different kind of pianist. Great young jazz artists

[mohiamus]

An amazing performer....that thing is a piano ?...I don't know....

[jitteh]

WOW!

As always...

[pmsmorga]

Brad never stops amazing me.... truly beautiful.
