THE BAD PLUS
Ethan Iverson-piano, Reid Anderson-bass, Dave King-drums
The American trio The Bad Plus earned worldwide recognition with their debut album ‘These Are The Vistas’. After an extensive tour the CD ‘Give’ followed and recently their latest album ‘Suspicious Activity?’ saw the light of day. The group really impresses with surprising, original compositions and almost insane interpretations of rock and pop classics. ‘Not exactly a bull in a china shop, more a like a rhino in an outlet mall.’, is how they describe themselves. ‘The first really new piano trio in a long time… It’s a tornado. If you want to know where jazz is heading, look here’ (The Washington Post). ‘The Bad Plus glories in a totally unique idiom; jazz with a sense of humor and the power of a rock band.’ The NRC Handelsblad about their previous Bimhuis concert.
