Brad Mehldau Quintet

Even as lyrical piano genius Mehldau tries his hand at various small projects, including a duo with mandolinist/singer Chris Thile, and Mehliana, his plugged-in pairing with drummer Mark Guiliana, he always has time for bigger combo outings. Here he leads a quintet with trumpetist Ambrose Akinmusire, saxist Joel Frahm, Joe Sanders, Leon Parker. Show up for one of these sets, and you're in for a gorgeous evening.
