«About as badass as highbrow gets» – Rolling Stone

The piano, drums, bass. The piano trio is a proven format, and with good reason. Here there is no place to hide; It’s about listening, about interaction, about communication. And it’s all about good music. American The Bad Plus have remained together for 15 years and they are known to stretch and pull the boundaries of what such trios can and should do. Just as much at home with Stravinsky as with Neil Young or Nirvana, they set to work with reckless spark, musical flair and imagination. It is innovative and original, it is great tunes. It is rock tough. Only one piano trio this fall? This one!

Reid Anderson – bass, Ethan Iverson – piano, David King – drums
