Pianist Brad Mehldau, bassist Christian McBride, and drummer Marcus Gilmore will tour the US in April and Hong Kong and Japan in May. The tour begins with shows at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles and Stanford's Bing Concert Hall, followed by four nights at SFJAZZ, two sets at Kuumbwa Jazz in Santa Cruz, and stops in Texas, Indiana, Michigan, and Massachusetts; tickets are on sale now. The tour then heads to Hong Kong on May 6, hits three Tokyo venues, and culminates at Sankei Hall Breeze in Osaka on May 13; tickets on sale soon.

In February and March, Brad Mehldau will play a number of solo shows across Europe, including several featuring music from his album Après Fauré, released earlier this year on Nonesuch, in Madrid, Barcelona, London, Lyon, Paris, Grenoble, Bordeaux, Rome, and Vienna. See below for details and tickets, and visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

On Après Fauré, Mehldau performs four nocturnes, from a thirty-seven-year span of Gabriel Fauré’s career, as well as a reduction of an excerpt from the Adagio movement of his Piano Quartet in G Minor, along with four of Mehldau’s compositions that Fauré inspired presented in a group, bookended by two sections featuring the French composer’s works.

Also released this year is After Bach II, on which Brad Mehldau performs four preludes and one fugue from J.S. Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, as well as the Allemande from Partita for Keyboard No. 4 in D Major, interspersed with seven compositions or improvisations by Mehldau inspired by the complementary works of the Baroque master—including his Variations on Bach’s Goldberg Theme. After Bach II follows 2018’s After Bach album.

    Laurie Anderson was on BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends to talk with host Clive Anderson about her new piece ARK: United States V, the premiere performances of which continue at Factory International's Aviva Studios in Manchester through Sunday, and more.
