Brad Mehldau
One of the most astounding of instrumentalists performing today – lyrical, intimate, complex – this giant among pianists is at his most expansive and riveting when playing solo. He has forged a distinctive amalgam of jazz exploration, classical romanticism, and pop appeal, to vast critical acclaim. He is “universally admired as one of the most adventurous pianists” (LA Times) on the jazz scene today. $32 general, $30 members/seniors, $16 students (Welcomed by KPLU 88.5FM NPR)
