misterdale Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 The Bad PlusMonday 06 December 2004 - Caf Tickets 12 (8 concessions & regulars)Doors Open: 8pmShow Starts: 9pmThere's a real buzz about the Bad Plus. Iconoclastic, witty and with heaps of attitude, they re-invent the piano trio and haul it into the 21st century. Edgy, anarchic and totally accessible, they create a stunning new take on improvisation with original music mixed up with radically deconstructed songs from the rock pantheon - Nirvana, Blondie, Aphex Twin, Black Sabbath, even Abba - they all find their way into the Bad Plus universe. Pianist Ethan Iversen's genre-blasting attack combines with bassist-of-the-moment Reid Anderson and the phenomenal percussionist Dave King to produce music that veers from headlong free jazz to outbursts of minimalism and down-home swing. This tour marks their first UK dates since the release of their brilliantly reviewed Sony CD, Give. "A breath of fresh air? More like a whirlwind" The Times "Seething with funky new-millennium rhythms and succulent harmonic flights" Rolling Stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
