The show opens with Massive Attack's "Teardrop" transitioning to Mehldau's own take on the song from the box set. It's a version "that I think is really brilliant," says host John Schaefer. "We begin with a new release that's due in two weeks, and it is so ambitious that we may well still be listening to it when we do next month's new releases program." Hear the show here.

Brad Mehldau's 10 Years Solo Live eight-LP vinyl box set is due out October 16, with a four-CD set to follow in November. The set, culled from 19 live recordings made over a decade of the pianist's European solo concerts, was featured on WNYC's New Sounds look at this month's new releases. The show opens with Massive Attack's "Teardrop" transitioning to Mehldau's own extended take on the song from the new box set.

"Brad Mehldau, in his forthcoming album, does a version of 'Teardrop' for solo piano that I think is really brilliant," says host John Schaefer. "We begin with a new release that's due in two weeks, and it is so ambitious that we may well still be listening to it when we do next month's new releases program … Lots of really great covers of songs both familiar and unfamiliar and originals as well."
