Brad Mehldau - improvisation

[dscalis1]

This might be the funniest thing I've ever experienced ever.

[G8tr1522]

@dscalis1 it really is

[DB1815]

haha zo hoort het, koffie in de ene hand, lekker soleren met de andere, lekker relaxed :D

[jazzmusic9000]

Brad Mehldau is my hero. FOR EVER!!!!!

[Pur11zz]

I hear he has got a sponsorship deal with Casio. The full works keyboards, watches and calculators.

[woogynie]

haha...thats crazy awesome

[MrBojangles528]

I didn't know Paul Rudd was so good at the keys

[tnguyen206]

yeah dude

paul rudd aka peter saarsgard aka brad mehldau

is a beast on the 11 keys

[pankcakesphil]

i think i have the same keyboard, casio sk-10?

[tnguyen206]

you can't possibly have the same keyboard

casio special-made that keyboard for brad

[ChristianGastl]

@tnguyen206 .. well i wouldnt know wheres a big difference.. i got a CASIo which looks exactly like that and has the SAME grove and the SAME sound.. i can upload it if you want to..

[pirazydrzwi]

@ChristianGastl i'd like to. I really wanna know which keyboard it is. It's definately not sa10 but it really looks like st-10! which one do you think it is?

[ChristianGastl]

@pirazydrzwi im in Hamburg right now, but it's in my parents house in Augsburg. I'll tell you, when I'm there at march. ^^

[tnguyen206]

mehldau should put out a cd of just songs

improvised on a casio keyboard

what a staggering work of genius that would be

[randomcat1]

word..

[purchi]

i had the same keyboard at my school's days

[parkbennink]

sigh@ nubboogaloo

[Nu9v9]

jajajaj brad could tune your ass up whenever he wanted to.

[ReminiscenceHr]

Check him out that's hilarious.

[silensen]

jazzboogaloo who the fuck r u to judge brad M

[steffanii]

if anyone's wondering, this clip is actually from one of his documentaries. it's at the end of the part 3.

[Dihelson]

What an ignorant! Brad Mehldau is one of the best pianists of our time. On this video he is playing with a small keyboard just kidding. Listen to him playing a good SteinWay piano and you will see...

[Jazzboogaloo]

Everyone raves about him, but he just sounds totally out of tune to me

[jiggity99]

your joking right..? Fuck I hope so...

[Jazzboogaloo]

no man, this guy tried to teach me rhythm changes once, i was like "get out of here", because all he did was play like that ^^^^

what a n00b

[8scatterbrain8]

...and that's why he's there and you're here commenting his video I guess!

[Jazzboogaloo]

no maN Im like playing most nights. This guy just cant play the piano in tune. And he thinks he can tackle the great music of the Oasis. He is deluded.

[SaxHero]

You're a fucking dumbass nutjob. It's impossible to play a piano out of tune. Either the piano's in tune or it's not but either way, it's not the performer's fault. And if you think Brad can't play, check out the live recording of The Way You Look Tonight posted by "emmadet". Anyone with the sense God gave a brick would be able to tell that he obviously wasn't serious playing that tiny keyboard. Now if you can't understand what's he doing when he's serious, that's your problem, not his...

[Jazzboogaloo]

oh man. *facepalm*

[fiddlercrab3]

I feel like the other posters are missing the sarcasm here. Play the piano 'in tune'? Nobody has control over that, unless they tune pianos on the side!

Way to pwn, jazzbogaloo.

[Jazzboogaloo]

hehe, lengend (y)

[skapirate123]

hahaha I have that exact keyboard

I'm going to see Brad next month, I'm excited

[Robas1987]

This is the greatest composition I have ever heard!! I really mean it!!;]

[seafox28]

thats my cousin.

[pirazydrzwi]

Great keyboard! Someone knows which is it?

And he's just having fun!

[monnaglennd]

I think it's a Casio SA-10.

[bygota]

toca pra caralho... o cara e muito bom !!!!! excelent !!!!!

[milaggie]

you can get it on emule under mehldau: portrait or sthing like this. great documentary about the time when he was making elegiac cycle, a lot of amazing clips also from the week at village vanguard when they recorded aott 4 i think!! brad is tha man! i love when he talks and writes about music! (as well as playing of course...)

[SindriMar]

Haha, exactly..but I doubt they would release a documentary featuring a pretty shitfaced Mr. Mehldau, so I guess the whole thing is just a joke :) By the way, I've been trying to track down that documentary, but I can't find it anywhere on the internet. Is it still available? Do you know somebody that has a copy of it?

[ccdbassics]

Ok! I think we can all admit that Mehldau was on some serious shit during this time! And whatever it was it must have been good as hell! Dis nigga is high as hell!

[JDillaYO]

your fucking stupid

[bcolborn]

Um....he's wasted open your eyes

[codyII]

this is awesome. funnily enough i used to have a keyboard with exactly the same preloaded thing on it. more of the same!

[teopini]

I wonder how drunk he was

[HpianoS]

Jajaja, muy weno xDD

[lagathy]

hahaha...gr8 video...love these insights into great musicians like mehldau.....if anyone has the rest of this video...i would be eternally grateful for a link or even an upload.

[Katajazz]

totally craze...

[tlaverty]

that is great!

[ShinjiIII]

haha. that's awesome! I'd like to see the rest of that as well.

[kurtrosenwinkel]

[Kiera75]

[sysphus13]

HAHA Its great to get a glimpse into brad's personality..i'd love to see the rest of this, do you know where i could find it?

[srvwtr1]

[Convisis]

Is that 'Jazz Collections: Brad Mehldau'? I've been looking for that for ages, never found it.

[Convisis]

[MonsieurRochas]
