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!!

I've always felt that his music cheered up in the early 2000s and he sounded a lot happier from then on. By the time I first saw him live he sounded positively happy although I gather at that point he was recently married and his wife had just had a baby which I suppose would leaven most people's moods. A lot of the early trio stuff - i.e. late 90s - is really dark (to my ears)
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!
