| Young Brad Mehldau, by John Abbott |
Brad Mehldau is 44 today, which means that it's about twenty years since he first blipped in the radar, possibly, when he first recorded for a major label, Warner, as a sideman of Joshua Redman's, with whom he also toured the world that year.

Even though he maintains his classic piano trio active, he's also involved in other projects that defy categorization. And more power to him for that.
