- Brad Mehldau, jazz and the pop-rock repertoire: highbrow and lowbrowPublication . Diniz, Alexandre; Pinheiro, RicardoBrad Mehldau’s adaptations of pop-rock repertoire had a significant impact in contemporary jazz practices and discourses and contributed considerably to stimulate the discussion around canon and artistic value in jazz. Taking the binomials jazz/not jazz and highbrow/lowbrow as a point of departure (Levine 1988, Walser 2007, Meisel 2010, Swirski & Vanhanen 2017, Ake 2019), we analyze to what extent the process of choice of the repertoire recorded by American pianist Brad Mehldau defied stratified constructions on art in the context of the jazz milieu.
