@damightyom

You are definitely right in pointing out the uniqueness and virtuosity of Brad's left hand, but some of the guys you mentioned...along with others...Herbie Hancock, Geoff Keezer, McCoy Tyner...definitely have/had some great left hand stuff going on that was not limited to the traditional left hand role!

[damightyom]

@bensax2bass Wasn't saying Bud was named Bob, I misspelled "bop". In Be-bop the chords of the left hand are voiced in blocks. Nobody in jazz except for Benny Green or Phineas Newborn really seemed to have a free left hand. Oscar Peterson could play some stuff, but I stand by my statement that Brad's counterpoint is special. You also had guys like Jarrett and Corea or even Evans, but still... Don't get me wrong, Bud was the greatest ever, in my opinion, but Brad solved a major riddle in jazz

Im sorry, I am not one to ever make a comment on Youtube. I find it a waste of time, and prefer just to watch the video. However, I couldn't help but notice this comments. You ought to read a book about jazz (or maybe listen to a little more), and find out that every single thing that you said here is very incorrect.

If it is *Bud* Powell that your talking about, he is certainly not a stride pianist.

Sorry for seeming like a jazz snob, just wanted to straighten that out.

[damightyom]

He solved the problem of the static left hand. For the past 50 years jazz pianist have been trying to escape stride (Tatum) and bob (Powell). He is the one to completely shatter the blocks in the left hand. Good job Brad!

@speedskis777 boom

[Modes9]

He has more in common with Paul Hindemith than Bud Powell or Art Tatum. Since it's the 21st century, that may be a good thing.

I've tried, Lord knows I've tried, but I just don't dig Brad Mehldau. If you like this, uh, style, check out Shelly Berg's version of All The Things You Are.
