Three distinct musical personalities make up the Bad Plus. Drummer David King creates syncopated, rough-around-the-edges rhythms, while Ethan Iverson's piano provides a link to jazz, layering simple, bassy chords below slurred solos and accents. Rounding out the trio is bassist Reid Anderson, composing tunes that highlight modal harmonies. Live, the piano overtones bounce around the hall, with King's drum kit positioned front and center. Today's collaboration with Minneapolis indie-rock poetess and Redstart frontwoman Wendy Lewis nudges the group closer to the edge.
