Brad Mehldau

Day 62
#62 – Brad Mehldau (b. 1970). American jazz pianist. Leads his own group, the Brad Mehldau Trio. Albums include: The Art of the Trio (1997), Alone Together (1997) and The Art of the Trio Vol. 3 (1998).

Listening to his piano solos led me to look at the keyboard and realise that if I cropped the keyboard at the top it would look like an abstract ‘M’. I wanted a typeface that was a little different, a little edgy. I picked Orator and bled that off the bottom to mimic the top. 

0.5 hour
