Songs: The Art of the Trio Volume Three is an album by American pianist and composer Brad Mehldau released on the Warner Bros. label in 1998.

“The lyrical pianist Brad Mehldau applies his melancholy, Bill Evans/Keith Jarrett-derived approach to a set of five originals plus standards including “Young at Heart,” “For All We Know,” and “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered,” as well as covers of Nick Drake’s “River Man” and Radiohead’s “Exit Music (For a Film).” The always swinging and tasteful pianist is accompanied by a rhythm section of drummer Jorge Rossy and bassist Larry Grenadier, and overall this is a fine program easily recommended to straight-ahead collectors.” – Scott Yanow/AllMusic.
