Not my favorite Mehldau album, but the one I return to most often. Sonic comfort food.
I think the criticism that this double album suffers from being a bit too long is a fair one, but it's more of a too much of a good thing than a situation where there are a few tracks that should've been left off. I definitely appreciate the addition of strings for a change of pace from a standard Mehldau piano trio offering.
-Beautiful trumpet-piano duo. Songs are either hymns or just closely resemble them. This is one of two duo collaborations released by Uri Caine this summer, the other being "Sentimental Mood" with bassist Ernst Glerum. I'll have short reviews of both on my site posting on Thursday.
Simple Acoustic Trio - Habanera
This is the Marcin Wasilewski Trio under an earlier name. 5 star average over 29 ratings at emusic, and $3.92 there. Excellent album. Even now that I am intensively exploring piano trios, there is still something about this trio that specially speaks to my ear.
Preceded and followed again by:
Benedikt Jahnel Trio - Modular Concepts
Another fine album.
What....Oh.....wow! Some more Simple Acoustic Trio back catalog has been made available since I last searched, and Getxo Jazz 96 is now on emusic for $3.92!!!

Very hard to pass by an album that opens with a jazz piano trio version of Kraftwerk's Computerliebe.

Brad Mehldau - "Highway Rider"
