    Maybe not the most ground-breaking album you'll ever hear, but a solid album that is well worth a listen, proving the adage that with jazz a lot of times less is more.

    Full of understated elegance, Ode reminds us that Mehldau's is an increasingly significant body of work. [May 2012, p.82]

    Ode is a more traditional jazz record than Day Is Done in that it features concise themes and long improvisations, with brilliant rhythmic play running throughout the trio's incredible dialogue... And it's fantastic.
