Brad Mehldau Documentary, Part 2, Nick Drake: River Man

In this fascinating Documentary, we follow Brad on a sojourn to Berlin where he is taking a break from the trio to work on his elegies and solo piano performance. The performance footage is spectacular!! Brad is interviewed about his music and its many aspects. We then come back to new york and see some footage at the vanguard and more interviews with the trio. You really get to understand what Brad is all about. Very candid. Probably taken in the winter of '99 just before elegiac cycle was recorded. Correct me if I'm wrong! Must see footage of one of the greatest musicians on the planet. There will be many parts. ENJOY!!

Nick Drake was reincarnated as this man.

haha, yea, i feel like, if brad were a singer, he would have a similar approach to nick!

Brad's insights directly effect his playing. It's impossible to separate the two. That's the point of this documentary. Brilliant.

Ha Ha! Thought I might learn something useful about the great BM from this. Try the 'Transcribe audio' option. From around 0.35 you get, and I quote "that's usually think he's a citizen in excellent health, individuals was founded on the thirteenth, things and it's his place to loose species because you used to associate with, so let's listen in.....' It's like the Monty Python Hungarian to English Dictionary! Beta YouTube? Yeah right. This is Zeta!

I would love to have a copy of this on DVD, hopefully with English subtitles :-). Great footage and production regardless of my disability at language. Thanks so much for posting.

I agree with you, and as you might already be well aware of, in another part of this doc he talks about getting sober...I'm sure that was probably a huge factor in this change. Nice post!
