- New Store Stock
Nonesuch Records labelmates mandolinist/singer Chris Thile and pianist Brad Mehldau, longtime admirers of each otherâ€™s work, first toured as a duo in 2013. At the end of 2015, they played a two-night stand at New York Cityâ€™s Bowery Ballroom before going into the studio to record Chris Thile & Brad Mehldau, a mix of covers and original songs that Nonesuch releases on January 27, 2017, on two CDs / LPs. Â A US tour will be announced at a later date.

The two musicians first performed together in September 2011 as part of Mehldauâ€™s residency at Londonâ€™s Wigmore Hall. The Guardian said of that performance, â€œMehldau struck up his signature rocking chord vamp over which lightly struck motifs swell to sensuous extended melodies. Thile kept cajoling him with percussive snaps, flying runs, and chords strummed fast enough to sound as seamless as a purring strings section, inducing Mehldau â€¦ to bat back the playful provocation with stinging rejoinders.â€
