Thank you, Brad Mehldau, for unfolding what words cannot.
Brad's interpretation of this Beatle's tune is uncanny. He swings and gets bluesy as well. Brad truly makes this song his own. He played this as his last song before the encore at the MIM in Phoenix, Az. on 03/28/24. What a performer to see live!
For a moment there, it sounded like McCartney visiting Monk. 🎹
great comparison
@@ianmacmillan8134 Thanks kindly. 🎹😎
Just a fucking amazing Jazz Player...what else...😊
I really do like that.
I believe to hear some influence of Keith Jarrett.
All in this version is so musical and sensitive, Paul McCartney, another music genius, must be delighted !
I wonder if anyone's asked Sir Paul about jazz versions of his songbook, especially "Blackbird" that recently got some phenomenal piano jazz interpretations from Hiromi, Jon Batiste, and Brad Mehldau's fantastic 10 Years Solo Live recording. I recall McCartney saying nice things about Stevie Wonder's ultra-funky "We Can Work It Out."
Incredibly Beautiful! Your piano playing has saved and changed my life in so many ways. Thank you and God Bless You Brad 🙌🏼
Outstanding version of a stirring song. For me, it's like being carried by a current which traverses a line between love, the transience of moments, and the knowledge that we only really visit eachother.
The slumbering lily here most gloriously gilded 💖🎶 Just beautiful!
Brad just makes everything better
Utterly sublime. So emotive and inspired. Buying this album tomorrow!!!!
Masterful dynamic control
Expressively and gently vibrant, or something like that. 3:33
I love this man. Such a great performance and sound.
La canzone che amo di più dei Beatles. Questa versione è magnifica!
Mesmerizing. Tranquil. Exhilarating. Uplifting. Stirring. Transporting. A meditation. Thank you. (Rick Beato podcast is how I first heard of you. Grateful)
Beautiful performance 🎹
❤❤❤❤❤what feeling. I hope brad mehldau plays music forever hes so amazing and gifted like an angel
Lovely... ☝️😎
All I can say is awesome. Oh yeah, and so beautiful. What a duo, McCartney and Mehldau.
Great version
Deep and Special. Thank you !!!!
God, you are just so brilliant. You are my favorite pianist of all time. Your music somehow just seems to be the answer to all things. Thank you for sharing your talents with us all.
amen Anthony
Really?! Wow. I've heard the name... so when YT recommended, I said yeah I should listen to who this is. Now I'll head down a brief rabbit hole, it being late.
Oh, now I see this will take longer than i have tonight. Who knows where I'll begin. Thanks for the recommendation CZcams, and whoever wrote this comment
@@GizzyDillespee check out Brad Mehldau's recordings of "Blackbird," culminating in his fantastic 10 Years Solo Live version!
@@skierpage okay, I will... I've listened to quite a few of his live and studio recordings since this comment... starting for a couple hours right after that, when I was supposed to be sleeping🤭
Beautiful!
so effortless
Beautiful. Thank you.🙏🙏🙏❤️
God bless you
Beautiful ! Thank you 🎉
Very moving,contemplative,thank you....
So beautiful! Great, great instrumental version!
Thank you for sharing❤
You're the best Brad.
Masterful Transcription by a true jazz artist. the piano never sounded better on a Beatles song! 😊
Try Vince Guaraldi's version of I'm a Loser. He transforms it into delicious wistfulness, nostalgia and regret.
Sublime.
Superb...
Pure joy
Golden Slumbers

Lyrics
Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way
To get back home
Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way
To get back home
Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Songwriters: Paul Mccartney / John Lennon
These lyrics are a nursery rhyme by Mother Goose. I love when lyricists do that, use nursery rhymes. Tom Waits does it a lot too.
Wonderful music. Warm, deep & tasty.
Excellent! Most of the song is your improvisation for Golden slumbers was a very short song. Bravo, maestro!
I thought you were also going to play ''Carry that weight'' (the next song on Abbey road) but you didn't. You did the right thing!
今日の朝起きてすぐにこの演奏を聴く事が出来ました。
今回のアルバムで、ビートルズの曲の美しさを発見する事が出来ました。 ブラッドメルドーは私にとってあらゆる意味で師匠だと思っております。 動画を挙げて頂き感謝致します。
I wish could be the fly behind him at 00:37 😁
I’m crying with joy…but I want Paul.
Mcartney GENIUS!!!!!!!
Bravo. :))
God bless you, Brad
The passage of time Ìs visible to me.
There Ìs time when I can see eternity.
I am a wanderer through time
Não conhecia esse canal. Procurando versões dessa música em piano deparei com seu vídeo. Fiquei muito impressionado! Maravilhosa a inversão do início, com melodia tocada na mão esquerda... Parabéns pelo belo trabalho! Passa ganhou um fã!
❤❤❤
Hermoso !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bella

the way you bring out the melody and legato phrasing is inscredible. 2.8k likes? Booo, dissapointing poeople. It doesn't reflect well on all ya'll. What you are witnessing here is rare, show some #($* #$*$# respect plz
Consistently beautiful over the years. Like the son of Keith Jarret and Ryūichi Sakamoto.
that was a cool comparison...
@@ruiresende84 Thanks for mention it. ^_^
🎉❤
Génial
こないだいずみホールで聴いた演奏を思い出します！
Coincidence? I sang this very same medley ("Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End") at karaoke just last night. I kid you not.
A sensitive rendition , true to the original theme - with ? some Oscar Peterson influences . Thanks , very relaxing .
Obviously in the spirit of Keith Jarrett, updated like you hope for. ❤️😎
I hear a lot of voicings and rhythmic structures eerily similar to Keith Jarrett's "Lalene."
Once there was a way to get back home....
😎
Genius
La bellezza ha bisogno della bruttezza per affermarsi!!!
Mcartney is unique!!!!!
Boy you really carried that weight!
Même si cela n'a plus grand chose à voir avec les Beatles, ce n'en est pas moins beau pour autan !
beautiful playing.. and slightly sad that Brad Mehldau looks like an old man ㅜ.ㅜ
who cares? He's young at heart
Didn't come here to say "The best version I have ever heard" or "Paul McCartney would be loving this".
But yes, very nice, clever piano playing. All very creative and skilful.
But I have always found all pared-down versions of vocalised songs, originally by a band of 2, 3, 4, 5 different musos on their range of instruments, to be "deficient" and far inferior to the original.
Vocals are what make a song a song. The brilliance of the poetry, the intellectual and emotional meaning of the lyrics, the tone of the voice, all in comibation with the melody is the primary root of and song. It is missing in all instrumental versions. But I'll bet 99% of listeners are thinking the words through -- maybe even singing them out loud -- as they listen to this tinkling, ostentatious nonsense.
A rythym and lead guitar add far more substance than some quirky augmented and diminished black and white keys.
A bass guitar, being the lowest note in each chord, adds much more than a left hand little finger ever can.
And percussion, in its range of drums and symbols, is completely absent from any imitative piano piece.
All over, this is nice if you like elevator music to fall asleep to and for hum-along pop classics. But I find it (and all solo jazz piano copies) an insult to the original, and just popular wanky self-indulgence. The last album I would ever buy is 10-20 tracks of one man on a piano with no voice wrecking classic, anthemic songs which just don't need covering or improvisational improvement.
Sogni d'oro. Dolce melodia .
