Mehliana AllMusic Review

The collaborative album by Brad Mehldau & Mark Guiliana made another appearance on the CMJ Radio 200 chart this past Tuesday. The record takes jazz and bends it backwards to incorporate funk, prog rock, electronic, and more. Many are disregarding the release as a straight jazz release, but as AllMusic points out, “More conservative jazzheads will likely shake their heads in disapproval at Taming the Dragon, but this set is for anyone but them. Though it’s quite sophisticated, this album is a hell of a lot of fun. Mehldau and Guiliana integrate all of the musical, stylistic, and technological elements at their disposal into an imaginative, provocative — and focused — whole.” Read the full review here. Mehliana: Taming the Dragon looks for continued support at CMJ, keep exploring the sonic world that is Mehliana.
