Brad Mehldau at Jazz à la Villette
2024-09-08 16:00 - 18:00 | Jazz à la Villette, 221 avenue Jean Jaurès, Paris, 75019, France
Brad Mehldau, one of the most lyrical and intimate voices in contemporary jazz piano, has forged a unique path for himself, embodying the essence of jazz exploration, classical romanticism and pop efficiency. Critically acclaimed as a bandleader, Brad Mehldau made a name for himself on the international scene by collaborating with Pat Metheny, Renee Fleming and Joshua Redman. He continues to garner numerous awards and the admiration of jazz purists and music lovers alike. His forays into the fusion of musical idioms, both as a trio and solo artist, have resulted in brilliant covers of songs by contemporary composers such as The Beatles, Cole Porter, Radiohead, Paul Simon, Gershwin and Nick Drake, as well as the ever-renewed breath of his extensive catalogue of original compositions. With his self-proclaimed affection for popular music and his classical training, “Mehldau is the most influential jazz pianist of the last twenty years” (The New York Times).

Fuzekin is a jazz band, but above all it’s three buddies who plug in, shake the walls, unplug, and disappear just as they arrived. Jazz, groove, electro-metal-noise…legend has it they invented noise. Their jungle and nu-soul influences poison the fresh air with jazz harmonies and funk/soul rhythms. Modern, rhythmic music, sometimes soaring, sometimes violent, with and without distortion…
