New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Brad Mehldau's acclaimed 2002 Jon Brion-produced album Largo, which turned 20 last year, will receive its first-ever vinyl release, on Nonesuch Records on June 16. The 2LP black vinyl edition is available to pre-order here. Mehldau experiments with electronic instrumentation on this set of original and borrowed tunes, including Radiohead's "Paranoid Android" and The Beatles' "Dear Prudence." "Gorgeous and brilliant," raved the Boston Globe. "Mehldau has crafted a new-jazz soundscape that bursts with pop smarts."
On Largo, Mehldau, playing pianos, synths, and vibes, is joined by Larry Grenadier, Darek "Oles" Oleszkiewicz, and Justin Meldal-Johnson on bass; Matt Chamberlain, Jorge Rossy, and Jim Keltner on drums; Victor Indrizzo on drums and percussion; and producer Brion on guitar, guitar synth, and piano percussion.
