Father of two small daughters, Aithan is often found playing with them underneath the piano, or adding more fairytale characters to the life-sized mural on their bedroom wall. He is at his happiest cooking a feast of flavorful dishes for friends and family, studying painting and music, or on a plane heading…anywhere. He makes a home with his wife in Boston, and is usually in over his head (and full of splinters) from some latest DIY construction.
Elan Mehler
In a nutshell Elan Mehler has released twelve albums under his name, and headlined major venues and festivals worldwide. Elan’s most recent record “There is a Dance” features an all-star rhythm section of Tony Scherr on bass and Francisco Mela on drums. “This record has a real personality: it creates its own atmosphere in a way that jazz records often don’t.” —Jazzwise Magazine
Other notable releases include a 2018 collaboration with guitar legend Bill Frisell “TJ and the Revenge” a 2020 duo record with famed Grammy Nominated singer Becca Stevens “Pallet on Your Floor” and a 2021 co-led project with the iconic trumpeter Dave Douglas “If There are Mountains” Halied as “an Instant Classic.” by The Arts Fuse
In 2015 Elan and Jean-Christophe Morisseau founded Newvelle Records. As artistic director of Newvelle Records, Elan has produced every record on the catalogue and had the privilege of collaborating with incredible musicians, film makers, photographers, visual artists and writers.
Elan’s new solo piano record is out on Sunnyside Records as of January of 2024.
“Mehler’s touch is as nuanced as Bill Evans’s, and his phrasing draws on both jazz and classical music without directly importing licks from either. The subdued certainties of his playing bring a crowded room to total silence.” — John Fordham, The Guardian
Father of an incredible eight year old girl, Elan is most happy making things with her, traveling, cooking large meals, wandering on the beach or in the mountains and singing loudly, occasionally all at the same time.
