Brad Mehldau is an American jazz pianist, composer, and arranger. Born on August 23, 1970 in Jacksonville, Florida, he has been recording and performing extensively since the early 1990s. He is best known for his work with the Brad Mehldau Trio since 1995. 
Mehldau's unique style incorporates elements of pop, rock, and classical music into his playing, setting him apart from other jazz musicians. His innovative approach to jazz has earned him a dedicated following around the world.
In addition to his solo career and collaborations with various artists, Mehldau is married to Dutch singer Fleurine. Together they create beautiful music that showcases their incredible talent and chemistry as a couple.

On After Fauré, Mehldau performs four Nocturnes, from a thirty-seven-year span of Gabriel Fauré’s career, as well as a reduction of an excerpt from the Adagio movement of his Piano Quartet in G Minor. Here Mehldau’s four compositions that Fauré inspired are presented in a group, bookended by two sections featuring the French composer’s works. Discussing the Après Fauré album in his note, Mehldau says: “If the sublime foreshadows our mortality, this music might communicate the austerity of death – Fauré’s as it approached him, but also the apprehension of our own. We find a kinship with the composer finally, in the form of a question that he tossed off into the future, to us. I have composed four pieces to accompany Fauré’s music here, to share the way I have engaged with Fauré’s question, with you, the listener.”
