Jazz pianist Mehldau has reunited with pop maestro and producer Jon Brion (Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple, Kanye West), with whom he first collaborated on the 2002 release "Largo" (named after the L.A. night club where they were introduced). The results are just as inspired and restless. With Mehldau behind the keys and Brion behind the board, jazz is no longer a dirty, dusty four-letter word. Rather, it's the future: sexy, comical, heartbreaking and full of musical wonder. Play it and make up your own words.

WATCH Brad Mehldau and producer Jon Brion discuss their collaboration on "Highway Rider."
