Joel Frahm and pianist, Brad Mehldau met in high school and formed what was to become a long-lasting and productive musical relationship. After Betty Carter’s Jazz Ahead workshop, he played with Maynard Ferguson and Larry Goldings and was a member of Mehldau’s quartet with bass player Dwayne Burno and drummer Greg Hutchinson. In 1996, Frahm reached the semi-final of the Thelonious Monk competition. After a 1998 fundraiser concert with Mehldau, on behalf of their old high school, the pair recorded 2004’s Don’t Explain. Frahm toured and recorded with Jane Monheit, appearing on Taking A Chance On Love. A session with Kenny Barron, Rufus Reid and Victor Lewis, the members of Stan Getz’s magnificent quartet, produced We Used To Dance in 2007. Not only does Frahm have full command of the instruments he plays, he is inventive and adventurous, as well.
