Brad Mehldau: Ride into the Sun
868 Fourth Avenue, San Diego, 92101
World-renowned pianist Brad Mehldau expands the language between genres with an homage to the late indie folk artist Elliott Smith, whose music inspired a generation of songwriters.
Joined by Chris Thile (vocals), Blake Mills (vocals), Matt Chamberlain (drums), and John Davis (bass), this lauded band is backed by the 17-piece USC Thornton Chamber Virtuosi on Mehldau’s rich cinematic arrangements.
