Introducing Brad Mehldau

Introducing Brad Mehldau is an album by pianist and composer Brad Mehldau, released on the Warner Bros. label in 1995.

Background and reception

Mehldau in 2023, reflecting on the existence of two of his trios on the release, wrote: "What you hear is two records in one – my voice, I think, but mediated by all those great musicians who, by my lights, already had their own sound as well."

AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars and in its review by Scott Yanow, called it "a fine start to what should be a productive career".
