SUBJECT:	Brad Mehldau & Brian Wilson Back to Subjects
mugsy Apr 02 2018 at 9:47 PM	Last year I heard Brad in a solo concert, play God Only Knows (Beach Boys). When his 10 Years Solo came out, I was so happy to see G O K on that album as well. As a kid, I was a big Beach Boy fan. I thought (and still do) that Brian Wilson was a genius. Now-a-days, I listen mostly to jazz and I have grown very fond of Mehldau (solo and trio). The trio has a new CD coming out in May (on my birthday!) and on it is another Brian Wilson/Beach Boys composition: Friends. It seems wonderfully eerrie, that Brad is a Brian Wilson fan... I love it!

It’s probably one of those tunes in my opinion not to be jazzed up too much but it would interesting to hear a version from Brad. There’s a soprano sax version I remember as a kid back in late sixties early seventies. Can’t remember who performed it.

naut Apr 04 2018 at 9:13 PM	franksexton (and anyone else who cares), among the myriad good records from Brad, let me recommend "Live in Marciac." It’s most excellent.
franksexton Apr 04 2018 at 2:56 PM	thanks for sharing this. I have 2 other cd’s of his solo recordings. I love his covers of Paranoid Android and Things Beyond the Sun as well as My Favorite Things. I was able to request this through my library and will be getting it soon.
