Brad Mehldau is an American jazz pianist, composer, and arranger. Born on August 23, 1970 in Jacksonville, Florida, he has been recording and performing extensively since the early 1990s. He is best known for his work with the Brad Mehldau Trio since 1995. 
Mehldau's unique style incorporates elements of pop, rock, and classical music into his playing, setting him apart from other jazz musicians. His innovative approach to jazz has earned him a dedicated following around the world.
In addition to his solo career and collaborations with various artists, Mehldau is married to Dutch singer Fleurine. Together they create beautiful music that showcases their incredible talent and chemistry as a couple.

The album features new music that reflects on scripture and the search for God through music inspired by the prog rock Mehldau loved as a young adolescent, which was his gateway to the fusion that eventually led to his discovery of jazz. Jacob's Ladder is made up of original compositions by Mehldau alongside interpolations and covers of songs by Rush, Gentle Giant and Yes. Featured musicians on the album include Mehldau’s label mates Chris Thile and Cécile McLorin Salvant, as well as Mark Guiliana, Becca Stevens, Joel Frahm, and others.
