The Bad Plus

Dress like the Beastie Boys, play like Miles Davis - Rolling Stone
Category: Festival at the Theatres

Starts: Friday, June 27, 2008

 

Favouring group improvisation over individual solos, eschewing all jazz clichés and the politeness of a jazz piano trio, The Bad Plus rip into each set with a combination of Swiss-watch precision, the widest spectrum of dynamics and sheer, reckless abandon. Hailing from the US Midwest, bassist Reid Anderson, pianist Ethan Iverson, and drummer David King create a collective experience that will leave you gasping for air, blending diverse original material with provocative covers of rock and pop standards (one of the Bad Plus trademarks) including Nirvana, Queen, Blondie, David Bowie and Tears for Fears.

Since forming in 2000, The Bad Plus has earned a reputation as one of the most forward-thinking groups in music, rapidly becoming the darlings of the concert and college circuits, with their last CD Prog garnering rave reviews.
