...appeal to non-jazzheads (such as myself). Mehldau reinterprets Paul Simon’s wistful “Still Crazy After All These Years” as a perplexed and perplexing song that marvels at itself even as it brushes with indecision.

They’re writing songs now about domestic abuse and 9/11 (these are huge- about time someone addressed the real issues), but wisely retain their light, Beatles-inspired sound.
