Brad Mahldau - April 2020
Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… a new release from June 11th and taking out for its first spin. The following is the opening portion from Brad on his website: " Suite: April 2020 is a musical snapshot of life the last month in the world in which we’ve all found ourselves. I’ve tried to portray on the piano some experiences and feelings that are both new and common to many of us. In ‘Keeping Distance,’ for example, I traced the experience of two people social distancing, represented by the left and right hand—how they are unnaturally drawn apart, yet remain linked in some unexplainable, and perhaps illuminating way. As difficult as COVID-19 has been for many of us, there have been moments of revelation along the way. ‘Stopping, Listening: Hearing’ highlights that moment as well.
Opening couple of tracks are very nice and looking forward to the rest of the album…
