i was in school w/ Brad at the time of this gig. i saw how his style develpoed. first he sounded like wynton kelly, then keith, then he developed his own sound.
i'll tell you a secret, Brad got much of his style from his good friend peter berstein.
i can sing back this solo note for note, never tried to play it, im not that crazy!
holy shit! i cant believe you did that. i went to school w/ Brad at the time of that recording. i can sing back the solo note for note, but you are, well... how long did it take you to do that?
thanks to all for posting such nice comments - glad you've enjoyed the video
for the record, the audio file is 87% of original tempo - practicing at 100% was killing me, with sharp pains between the 4th and 5th fingers of my right hand, so i dropped the tempo and saved my career
hey man what was the rhythm u got in the last A of the second chorus? cos its the typical triplet mehldauism but i cant seem to notate it. i learnt the solo a while ago at speed but that allowed me to cover up mistakes
Nice Job. Been listening to quite a bit of Mehldau recently. Plays some good stuff on John Scofield' album 'Works for me' and his own trio album 'anything goes'. Look forward to more projects from you! : )

@stevebr551
thanks for the comment - i had a lot of fun transcribing and
learning to play this solo, which took about a month altogether,
although I was working on a lot of other stuff at the same
time - this solo was part of a project i undertook for my
masters degree called "Who could ask for anything more?:
Exploding the traditional harmonic boundaries of rhtyhm
changes" - have posted a bunch of other " out" rhythm
changes solos as well

Yeah! great work!
I remember trancribing this solo when that first cd came out, i wish i could find the paper now! :)
The original tempo is so fast, but brand nailes it, i consider this version is a milestone

Good work! This tempo is more enjoyable than the CD, especially to get all those rhythmic finesses.
Btw have you written this down? (Sibelius/Finale etc) I would be very interested if you are willing to share that.
All the best!!
