BRAD MEHLDAU is a jazz pianist enamored of many kinds of music, as his recent albums make clear. “Live in Marciac,” his new album and concert film on Nonesuch (two CDs, one DVD), chronicles a recent solo piano concert, with his originals brushing up against songs by Radiohead, Nirvana and the Beatles.
