Brad Mehldau is one of the biggest contemporary pianists and is usually heard solo or in a trio setting. Together with Darcy James Argue we were able to win him over for a joint project with the Frankfurt Radio Big Band - a rare opportunity to experience the jazz pianist with a big sound backdrop! The skill and sentience of two great jazz musicians merge into a total work of art.
