The Bad Plus: The Bad Plus
by Mark Sabbatini
Is there another group that excels this well at not taking themselves seriously? The Bad Plus are earning raves as either stupendous or just plain stupid for their radical interpretations of pop standards, making their major label debut on 2003's These Are The Vistas and following up with 2004's Give . But as is ...

Give The Bad Plus A Break
by Joshua Weiner
A pretty little girl, maybe 4 years old or so, dances and twirls to the music, long blond hair flying. Her mother sits nearby, watchful that she doesn't bump into any of the audience members enjoying the show. A dreadlocked man at the adjacent table leans over to the little dancer, points to the hyperkinetic drummer ...

The Bad Plus: These Are The Vistas
by Joshua Weiner

Listening to the arrangement of Nirvana's “Smells Like Teen Spirit" by the Bad Plus brought this to mind. While 7 of 10 tracks on their major-label ...
The Bad Plus: These are the Vistas
by C. Michael Bailey
Blasting out of the heartland, the Bad Plus spills onto the jazz landscape like strong waters, cleansing the palette of the recent barrage of jazz jam bands. Billed as the “loudest Jazz Piano Trio," the Bad Plus consists of bassist Reid Anderson, pianist Ethan Iverson, and drummer David King. Their music is compelling for two reasons. ...
The Bad Plus: These Are the Vistas
by Paul Abella
At first glance, this doesn't look like a jazz record, with that big picture of what might be a robot on the front--and three thugs on the back looking like they just stepped out of the garage. But look closer. The Bad Plus is one of the most unique piano trios you are ever ...

Drummer Dave King's attack is alternately aggressive, delicate, and swinging. ...
