Largo

For this 2002 project, Brad Mehldau moved away from his typical piano trio format to work with producer Jon Brion. The record is an experimental effort that incorporates synthesizers, loops, and unusual percussion into his usual jazz style.

During a time of deep artistic searching, the artist blended acoustic improvisation with electronic components and covers of pop songs. The album represents a distinct change in his catalog, showing a point where jazz collided with modern studio techniques.
