London Jazz Festival, in association with BBC Radio 3, Friday 11 to Sunday 20 November 2011

A European premiere from leading pianist Brad Mehldau, joined here by long-time collaborator and highly-acclaimed saxophonist, Joshua Redman and his dynamic trio of Larry Grenadier and Jeff Ballard plus drummer Matt Chamberlain. Scott Yoo conducts one of Britain’s leading chamber orchestras, the Britten Sinfonia, in the performance of Mehldau’s luscious and highlyacclaimed Nonesuch album, Highway Rider.

“Highway Rider’s contrasts and dramatic entries spring constant surprises. This is the kind of genre dialogue that gets classical/jazz crossovers a good name.” The Guardian
