Joel Frahm

Joel Frahm and Brad Mehldau are both original voices in jazz with that rare capacity to stay true to the classic jazz approach or open up the harmonic structure for a freer interpretation. Their playing makes an immediate impact and intrigues the listener.

While only 17, Joel and Brad started playing a weekly gig at a club in Hartford. For the next two years, they maintained their gig and ventured occasionally into New York City, eventually moving there permanently for college and to build their professional careers as musicians.
