With nearly 40 records under his belt, American jazz pianist Brad Mehldau returned with his unlikely 2022 album, Jacob's Ladder. Not only does the album feature new music that reflects on scripture and the search for God, but it's also inspired by the prog rock Mehldau loved as a young adolescent. Music that ended up being his gateway to the fusion that eventually led to his discovery of jazz.
Jacob's Ladder is made up of original compositions, interpolations, and covers. Featured musicians include label mates Chris Thile and Cécile McLorin Salvant, as well as Mark Guiliana, Becca Stevens, and Joel Frahm.
Heavyweight double vinyl produced by Nonesuch Records. Manufacutred in the Netherlands.
