Product Information:
Forget categories and catch phrases - the sound of The Bad Plus is distinctive, eclectic and formidable. The Bad Plus has exploded all notions of what a jazz piano trio should sound like - whether at outdoor rock festivals, jazz clubs or symphony halls.
A diverse array of music lovers has been seduced by The Bad Plus and its earnest, dizzying musicianship. Time Out proclaimed "They are a swirling vortex that sucks in and spits out jazz, classical, rock and dance influences...exhilarating, exhausting, irritating and utterly brilliant." The Observer Music Monthly declared "The Bad Plus are a reminder that American jazz hasn't gone to sleep. Play any of their albums and their collective sound leaps out of your speakers, steps all over your furniture and scares the bejesus out of your cat." Said The Guardian, "If the Coen Brothers put together a jazz trio, perhaps it would be like this, the comic and the dramatic rolled together."
The group dug its roots in the wood-paneled, sump-pumped basements of the Midwest. Drummer David King and bassist Reid Anderson hooked up as teens in their native Minnesota, bouncing between junior high rock bands and long nights listening to John Coltrane and The Police. Soon after, Anderson met Wisconsin-reared pianist Ethan Iverson and formed an alliance - sort of. The threesome played for the first time in 1990, then went their separate ways for the better part of the decade.
Their paths crossed again for a one-off gig in Minneapolis in 2000. Thrilled by the instant chemistry, the group tracked a self-titled disc for a Spanish indie label, Fresh Sound - a sneak-attack set would soon be hailed by the New York Times as one of 2001's best releases of the year.
A deal with Columbia Records followed, and amid relentless touring the band crafted material for 2003's These Are the Vistas. Produced by Tchad Blake (Peter Gabriel, Tom Waits) the album contained riveting originals alongside sharp readings of Nirvana, Aphex Twin and Blondie. Said Esquire magazine, "Can one album single handedly make jazz relevant again? Should you care? One listen to The Bad Plus's These Are the Vistas will damn sure make you care."
Two more albums followed in rapid succession - Give in 2004 and Suspicious Activity? in 2005. Worldwide touring continued, which further cemented the trio's reputation as being passionate and powerful.
The Bad Plus joins forces with Universal for the May 2007 release of Prog. Co-helmed by veteran UK producer Tony Platt (Bob Marley, AC/DC), the disc showcases six singularly original compositions alongside crackling takes on Tears For Fears, Burt Bacharach, David Bowie and Rush. In the studio as well as onstage, The Bad Plus proudly foregoes convention in favor of curiosity and craftsmanship - recognizing and respecting the rules while ripping them to shreds. (emarcy. com)
Nur wenige Bands haben es in den vergangenen Jahren geschafft eine so eigenständige wie kontrovers diskutierte musikalische Sprache zu finden wie das New Yorker Trio The Bad Plus. Auf ihrem neuen Album "Never Stop" feiern Reid Anderson (Bass), Ethan lverson (Piano) und David King (Drums) nicht nur ihr zehnjähriges Bandjubiläum, sondern präsentieren erstmals ein Album das ausschließlich aus Eigenkompositionen besteht. lst es Rock? lst es Jazz? Was es auch ist, es ist so progressiv wie humorvoll unterhaltend, beständig auf der Jagd nach Neuem und definitiv The Bad Plus.
Rezensionen
"Bass, Drums und Piano in jazziger Stimmung vereint. Da bleibt nicht viel, an dem sich das ungewohnte Ohr orientieren kann. Die Improvisationen werden auf der Grundlage erkennbarer Strukturen ausgelebt. Den Pianomelodien kommen in dieser Beziehung große Bedeutung zu. Das Trio vereint Avantgarde-Jazz mit Blues- und Rock-/ Popanleihen und grenzt sich so vom anstrengenderen Free Jazz ab." (plattenvorgericht. blogspot. com)
"In 10 years of recording, pianist Ethan Iverson, bassist Reid Anderson and drummer Dave King have practically become figureheads for a genre-blind mini-movement in jazz, earning perhaps as much attention for their skewed takes on such modern rock figures as Nirvana and Aphex Twin as they have for their deadly cohesive, virtuosic interplay." (LA Times)
"It's an improvising piano-bass-drums group — a celebrated jazz layout, with musicians fluent in the standard tongues of jazz — which probably wouldn't mind if you called it a weirdo instrumental rock band." (npr. org)
"This is not your typical jazz combo. Nor is it a lounge / bar band. It certainly isn’t a garage rock band. In fact there are a lot of things The Bad Plus is “NOT.” One thing for sure, they are NOT boring. They are definitely innovative. " (seattlepi. com)
Rezensionen
"Als Ergebnis ist eine delikate Mixtur aus den verschiedensten Stilen zu begutachten, die von gelegentlichen impressionistischen Klangtupfern bis zum Grunge der 90er Jahre reicht. AlI dies wird durch die Mühlen des Jazzidioms gedreht, bis es zu 100 Prozent als The Bad Plus zu erkennen ist." (stereo, 12 / 2010)
