Brad Mehldau was on The WTF Bach Podcast to talk with host Evan Shinners about a range of topics, not least Bach. Mehldau is "one of the foremost pianists alive," says host Evan Shinners. "He is without doubt, one of the most influential, one of the most imitated, and certainly one of the most unique musicians around. And I could spend as much time speaking about his accomplishments, his merits as I did talking to him, but I won't because our conversation is much more interesting."

Bach, from whose Well-Tempered Clavier Mehldau recorded on his 2018 album After Bach, which also includes his own work inspired by the piece.

Mehldau is "one of the foremost pianists alive," says Shinners in his introduction.
