Music and recording
[edit]The album was recorded at Avatar Studios, New York City, on December 20 and 21, 1999.[1] Mehldau plays Fender Rhodes instead of piano on five of the eight tracks.[2]
"So It Seems" has "winding melodies over a double-time feel and space-age chords that suggest club genres such as jungle and drum-n-bass."[2]
