Gitarrist Pat Metheny und Pianist Brad Mehldau mit ihrem zweiten gemeinsamen Album.
Keine Frage, Pat Metheny und Brad Mehldau gehören zu den stilbildenden Persönlichkeiten im Jazz unserer Tage – und beide sind schon seit langem voneinander fasziniert. Pat Metheny gesteht: »Ich habe Brads Karriere genau verfolgt, wie er als der bedeutendste junge Jazzmusiker seiner Generation in Erscheinung trat.« Im letzten Jahr erschien dann endlich das lang erwartete Duo-Album »Metheny / Mehldau«. »Die Chance, mit Pat Metheny Musik zu machen, ist nicht weniger als ein wahr gewordener Traum für mich. Pat ist einer der Musiker, die mich dazu gebracht haben, schon als junger Mensch Jazz spielen zu wollen«, so Brad Mehldau.
“Individually, the performers are as sharp as you would expect, but it is their interplay that sets this release apart. Mehldau’s knack for probing away at the structure of a tune and Metheny’s fleet-fingered flights of fancy complement each other beautifully.”—Independent (UK)
Nonesuch releases the second collaboration between guitarist Pat Metheny and pianist Brad Mehldau—Quartet—on March 13, 2007. The record features seven tracks written by Metheny, three by Mehldau, and one jointly written tune. Mehldau’s bandmates, drummer Jeff Ballard and bassist Larry Grenadier, play on seven of the songs, while the remaining three are duets.
Quartet follows the 2006 release Metheny Mehldau, which primarily was a duet record (with Ballard and Grenadier on two tracks), and also featured original compositions by Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau. Jazzwise (UK)called that album “the jazz event of the year by some distance.” “I have followed Brad’s career closely as he has emerged as the major young jazz musician of his generation,” Metheny says. “Somehow it always seemed like we would do something together. From the first note of the first take of the first tune we played, we both could just play pretty much full out.”
Mehldau agrees: “When you do a collaborative project with someone, one thing that you hope is that neither of you will have to adjust too radically to make the other person comfortable. In this situation with Pat, it was the opposite.” He continues, “Having the chance to make music with Pat Metheny has been nothing short of a dream come true for me. Pat is one of the musicians who made me want to play jazz from an early age.”

Rezensionen
T. Urbach in Stereo 5/07: "Mehldau krönt mit seiner un- nachahmlichen Mischung aus abgeklärtem Jazzpiano und neu- romantischer Attitüde Methenys Linien, führt sie nach- gerade zum Olymp. Noch mehr als bei den Duos - die auch hier ihren Platz haben - hören die beiden aufeinander und holen die Sterne vom Himmel."- Tracklisting
