Brad Mehldau’s live solo album Your Mother Should Know: Brad Mehldau Plays The Beatles features interpretations of nine songs by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and one by George Harrison. Although other Beatles songs have long been staples of Mehldau’s shows, he had not previously recorded any of these tunes. The album, recorded in September 2020 at Philharmonie de Paris, ends with a David Bowie classic that draws a connection between The Beatles and pop songwriters who followed.

From Monday, March 20 through Friday, March 24, one cut from Your Mother Should Know: Brad Mehldau Plays the Beatles by Brad Mehldau will be featured each morning on the New Day, New Play spotlight on Gary Walker’s Daybreak show.
