It is a great satisfaction for Jazz San Javier to be able to offer, in a year as difficult as this one, the return to the festival of Brad Mehldau, the most brilliant jazz pianist of his generation, a jazz genius who has become a star of the popular music, without having renounced the erudition and exquisiteness that exudes all his work. Exquisite, indeed, are also his last two albums: "Suite April 2020" and "Round Again" (the latter with Joshua Redman, Christian McBride and Brian Blade).

Whether playing jazz standards, recreating jazzy rock hits or Beatles songs, of which he is a huge fan, or performing his own compositions, a Brad Mehldau concert is a source of great musical emotions. , further enhanced, on their third visit to the festival, by the two renowned virtuosos who also make up their trio: Larry Grenadier and Jeff Ballard.
