█░ ░█
█░ Palmetto Records (NY, USA) presents: ░█
█░ Joel Frahm with Brad Mehldau - Don't Explain ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Review: ░█
█░ Joel Frahm's path to jazz seems somewhat destined. Born in ░█
█░ Wisconsin, he studied classical piano and even played the bassoon ░█
█░ before switching to the tenor saxophone around age 14 at the ░█
█░ urging of a friend. When his family moved to Hartford, ░█
█░ Connecticut, Joel found himself in a school with a great jazz ░█
█░ program. Soon he was listening to more jazz than pop, having ░█
█░ discovered Herbie Hancock's hip-hop edged music which featured ░█
█░ Wayne Shorter. During this period, Joel met his classmate, pianist ░█
█░ Brad Mehldau. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Joel comments: Being at that school and meeting Brad was a great ░█
█░ twist of fate. It was exhilarating for me to be around him during ░█
█░ this important period of musical development. The music coming out ░█
█░ of him seemed inevitable and organic, but I didn't realize until I ░█
█░ moved to New York that Brad was more advanced than most players on ░█
█░ the scene. I was really blessed to work with him. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ While only 17, Joel and Brad started playing a weekly gig at a ░█
█░ club in Hartford. For the next two years, they maintained their ░█
█░ gig and ventured occasionally into New York City, eventually ░█
█░ moving there permanently for college and to build their ░█
█░ professional careers as musicians. After graduating from The ░█
█░ Manhattan School of Music, Joel was soon playing blues and jazz ░█
█░ gigs in the City and meeting musicians like Matt Wilson and David ░█
█░ Berkman, who would both become important collaborators. Joel was ░█
█░ accepted into Betty Carter's intensive Jazz Ahead workshop and ░█
█░ began working with Maynard Ferguson, The Village Vanguard Jazz ░█
█░ Orchestra, and Larry Goldings. After placing as a semi-finalist in ░█
█░ the 1996 Thelonious Monk competition, Joel released his debut CD, ░█
█░ Sorry, No Decaf (in homage to his day job at Starbucks when music ░█
█░ gigs were tough to come by) on Palmetto Records in 1999, which was ░█
█░ followed by The Navigator in 2000. Currently Joel tours the world ░█
█░ with vocalist Jane Monheit. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Meanwhile Brad was developing his distinctive style while working ░█
█░ alongside Joshua Redman, Peter Bernstein, Mark Turner, Leon ░█
█░ Parker, Kurt Rosenwinkel and Chris Potter. Mehldau eventually met ░█
█░ his future trio mates, Larry Grenadier and Jorge Rossy and in ░█
█░ 1995, released his debut on Warner Brothers Records. His 2nd ░█
█░ release earned him one of his two Grammy nominations, the other ░█
█░ coming for his classic Art of The Trio recordings. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Brad comments: It's cool and a little uncanny, because I hear my ░█
█░ own influences and history as a player through Joel. What he had ░█
█░ from early on was a certain fluidity in his line, an easy grace. ░█
█░ The effect on the listener is to put you at ease in that kind of ░█
█░ swinging context. It has the same effect on me playing with him û ░█
█░ the ideas come out more easily for me. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Joel and Brad kept in touch over the years but rarely played ░█
█░ together. Finally they came together in 1998 at the West Hartford ░█
█░ Town Hall for the first of a few duo performances. Those who ░█
█░ caught the concert knew they were fortunate to witness the rapport ░█
█░ of the musician friends and the beauty of their music. The ░█
█░ experience stayed with Joel and Brad too and motivated them to ░█
█░ record the captivating Don't Explain. ░█
