BRAD MEHLDAU – Jacob’s Ladder – 2LP – Vinyl

2LP – Black Vinyl

Nonesuch Records releases Brad Mehldaus Jacobs Ladder. The album features new music that reflects on scripture and the search for God through music inspired by the prog rock Mehldau loved as a young adolescent, which was his gateway to the fusion that eventually led to his discovery of jazz. Featured musicians on the album include Mehldaus label mates Chris Thile and Ccile McLorin Salvant, as well as Mark Guiliana, Becca Stevens, Joel Frahm, and others. The albums first single, maybe as his skies are wide, builds off an interpolation of one portion of Rushs classic Tom Sawyer.
