The Bad Plus

Wednesday, December 12, 2007

"Prog rock" is usually associated with half-hour synthesizer solos and concept albums about hobbits. But the latest album by the New York jazz-rock trio The Bad Plus, "Prog" has less to do with fantasy-based lyrics and wacky cover art than with pushing the envelope. The group performs live in our studio.

THE BAD PLUS & TRIO TOYKEAT are my all time favorite serious JAZZ bands.
The latter is from Finland.
Needless to say I dig MMW & John Scofield.
Fantastic episode as usual. Thanks John.
Cheers.
Hamid.

Dude, the Rush cover rocks!

Ask them how it is navigating all those time signature changes.
