Brad Mehldau, whose new album, Modern Music, is out now on Nonesuch Records, will be the guest on the Jamie Cullum show on BBC Radio 2 this evening. Cullum's show showcases the host's love for all types of jazz, and music rooted in jazz, from its heritage to the future. Mehldau stopped by the BBC Maida Vale Studios in London to perform songs both from Modern Music and his solo CD/DVD Live in Marciac, released earlier this year on Nonesuch. Tune in live today at 7 PM London time, streaming around the world at bbc.co.uk.

Modern Music is a collaboration between Brad Mehldau and fellow pianist Kevin Hays and composer/arranger Patrick Zimmerli, all longtime friends. The album features pieces written by each of the three musicians as well as works by Steve Reich, Ornette Coleman, and Philip Glass, performed by the two pianists in arrangements by Zimmerli. The Guardian calls it a "fascinating session" that's "full of surprises." The New York Times says the pianists bring "a high sheen to some choice material."

To pick up a copy of Modern Music, Live in Marciac, and all of the albums in Mehldau's Nonesuch catalog, head to the Nonesuch Store, where CD orders include high-quality, 320 kbps MP3s at checkout. Modern Music is also available there as FLAC lossless files.

Brad Mehldau will be joined by label mate Joshua Redman for a six-week US duo tour starting next week, October 13, at the Williams Center for the Arts in Easton, Pennsylvania. For details, go to nonesuch.com/on-tour.

It features music recorded during the composer's 40 years on the label—six decades of his compositions, including first recordings of his two latest works, Jacob’s Ladder and Traveler’s Prayer (both also available to stream/download today)—plus two extensive booklets with new essays by Robert Hurwitz, Michael Tilson Thomas, Russell Hartenberger, Judith Sherman, and Nico Muhly, and a comprehensive listener’s guide by Timo Andres. Nonesuch made its first record with Steve Reich in 1985; he was signed exclusively to the label that year. Collected Works includes 24 discs of Nonesuch recordings and three from other labels.

    Cinematic electro-pop duo Ringdown, featuring Danni Lee Parpan and Pulitzer and Grammy winner Caroline Shaw, will release its debut album, Lady on the Bike, May 9. The album celebrates the feeling of possibility in myriad forms: the possibility of love; the possibility of creating connection and community in a world trying to pull those things apart; the possibility of making music in new ways. Ringdown will create additional custom sleeves for the first 50 Nonesuch Store vinyl orders. The duo will perform with Sō Percussion and in its own headlining shows this spring and summer.
