Message from the Executive Director

The starting point for the programming of this 2005Festival was the idea of contrasting opposites – ‘sacred

Alongside all of our international artists, we are proud topresent many outstanding Hong Kong artists. For example,the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra and the HongKong Repertory Theatre, as well as the fine young HongKong musicians, pianist Rachel Cheung and the Fresh AirBrass Quintet. Other important Hong Kong artists takingpart include Cantonese opera stars Mui Suet-see and LeeLung; Class 7A Drama Group; Chung Ying Theatre; Group89268; the Material Girls; choreographer Daniel Yeungand the remarkable combined talents of Lee Chun-chow,Faye Leong, Gabriel Lee and Chong Mui-ngam in TheFrench Kiss.

In addition, our commitment to commissioning new workfrom Hong Kong and around the world continues, withpieces such as Amber, The Nightingale, All That ShanghaiJazz, Material Girls, i-City, The French Kiss, Come Out &Play and Little Prince Hamlet.

10 Interview

A Few Words with Brad Mehldau

Charles MartinBrad Mehldau

Your new album has the Radiohead song Paranoid Android. For a longtime you didn’t hear many pop tunes in jazz, apart from the odd Beatlesor Stevie Wonder tune. Jazz artists who came of age in the 1970’s, say,didn’t generally play Led Zeppelin or Earth, Wind & Fire. That seems tohave changed of late. What’s going on?

I think everything is splintered now, and there’s not one particular ethos in jazzthat takes precedence over another one; that’s fine really. I would say though,that with jazz, the importance of the material the musician chooses issometimes overblown. What’s really important is what he or she brings to thematerial in their interpretation and improvisation.

When I’m choosing a song to play, I always have an emotional connection to it.Often it’s a song I’ve known for a long time, although not always. There arelots of reasons why a song resonates emotionally with someone.

The next factor is whether I can find a compelling way to interpret that song,and a way to improvise on it. Those are really the only factors that guide mydecision making. That’s what I look for as a listener – who wrote the song orwhen it was composed doesn’t matter so much in the actual performance.

Has your approach to choosing repertoire changed much since youstarted out?

It hasn’t changed. It’s never been calculated. It’s more a case of when it occursto me to try a particular song, I try it, and then it either works or it doesn’t.Sometimes it’s not clear immediately if it works or not.

Your career as a sideman is pretty wide-ranging; you’ve played withpeople as diverse as Willie Nelson and Perico Sambeat. Who has made aparticular impression on you?

The guitarist Peter Bernstein made a big impression on me, and I still play in hisgroups fairly regularly, which I always enjoy immensely. He’s been a model forme on the importance of melodic phrasing, choosing good songs and

composition as well. Also the guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel is big for me, as acomplete musician, someone who is a model of individuality. I’ve gotten towork with him over the years and just recorded on his new record, Deep Song.The experience of playing with the drummers Jimmy Cobb and the late BillyHiggins on different occasions was very powerful and profound for me. JoshuaRedman, the saxophonist, was a great model for me on how to be a bandleader when I worked with him.

You were commissioned by Carnegie Hall to write music for the greatsoprano, Renee Fleming. How are you approaching that?

The only guidelines were that it should be for voice and piano. I’ve chosen textsfrom Rilke and Louise Bogan, and I’ve completed six songs and will probablywrite two more.

Will the work involve improvisation, or will it all be written out?

It’s completely written out, and doesn’t involve improvisation at all. It’s hard todescribe your own music stylistically, but it definitely reflects my love for classicalart songs that I’ve listened to for years. I would say that musically differentlisteners might hear different things. There’s a classical element in the pianowriting, there’s a jazz element in the rhythm and harmony sometimes, andthere’s a pop aspect to the way the melodies are phrased in some cases. I wastrying to emulate the way an interesting pop singer like Joni Mitchell phrasesher melodies rhythmically. As I write, I’m also thinking about Renee Fleming’svoice and the particular beauty it has.

You’ve made a change in your line-up recently.

I’ve made a switch in the drum chair – now I’m playing with Jeff Ballard, whoI’m very excited to be working with. Jeff is a dynamic, powerful drummer whomI’ve admired for years, and I’ve gotten to play with him in different contexts overtime. Jeff and Larry Grenadier, my bass player, have a very long relationshipmusically – they’ve known each other since high school – and that informs howthey play together.

I worked with my former drummer, Jorge Rossy, for ten years, and we felt itwas time to move on. Jorge wants to pursue the piano more – he’s a very finepiano player – and become more involved in composition.

Brad MehldauPiano

Brad Mehldau, like many of his contemporaries, began his career with a classicaltraining, long before he was exposed to jazz. He started experimenting with thepiano when he was just four, began taking lessons when he was six and continueduntil he was 14. As a youngster he listened more to rock than jazz.

In 1988 Mehldau moved to New York where he worked with a variety of musiciansover the following years and made several recordings as a sideman. During thatperiod he began to develop his own style which he attributes to the influence ofhis musical peers, specifically band leaders Peter Bernstein,Jessie Davis and David Sanchez as well as other musicians heworked with including – Mark Turner, Kurt Rosenwinkel,Perico Sambeat, Leon Parker, Avishai Cohen and Chris Potter,to name a few. In addition he met and played with his futuretrio mates, Larry Grenadier and Jorge Rossy in several projects.Mehldau’s first major international exposure came as amember of the Joshua Redman Quartet, with which herecorded MoodSwing and toured the US and Europe for ayear and a half.

As well as recording with the trio, Mehldau has a solo pianorecording entitled Elegiac Cycle, and a record called Places thatincludes both solo piano and trio songs. Elegiac Cycle andPlaces might be called ‘concept’ albums. They are made upexclusively of original material and have central themes thathover over the compositions. Other Mehldau recordingsinclude Largo, a collaborative effort with the innovativemusician and producer Jon Brion.

Mehldau’s musical personality forms a dichotomy. He is firstand foremost an improviser, and greatly cherishes the surpriseand wonder that can occur from a spontaneous musical ideathat is expressed directly, in real time. But he also has a deepfascination for the formal architecture of music, and it informseverything he plays. In his most inspired playing, the actualstructure of his musical thought serves as an expressive device.As he plays, he listens to how ideas unwind, and the order inwhich they reveal themselves. Each tune has a strongly feltnarrative arch, whether it expresses itself in a beginning, an

end, or something left intentionally open-ended. The two sides of Mehldau’spersonality – the improviser and the formalist – play off each other, and the effectis often something like controlled chaos.

Brad Mehldau is also the subject of a French documentary entitled Jazz Collection:Brad Mehldau, and his performance of Blame It On My Youth, the lead track fromArt Of The Trio, Vol 1, is featured in the film Eyes Wide Shut and its companionsoundtrack on Warner Sunset. Mehldau has composed and recorded the score tothe French film, Me Femme et une Actrice. He is currently working on a commissionfrom Carnegie Hall to compose a set of songs for voice and piano, with theacclaimed classical soprano, Renee Fleming.
