The Bad Plus are a piano trio playing a powerful breed of contemporary jazz using both originals and pop covers such as Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and Blondie’s “Heart Of Glass”. Comprising Ethan Iverson on piano, Reid Anderson on bass and David King on drums, the band achieve an impressive impact with a wide dynamic range.
