The Bad Plus?

[SolarGarlic]

Just wondering if anyone has a thought or two, good or bad, about this trio?? Im somewhat intrigued by them for one reason or another and was looking for an opinion (any of those around here ). Have a live show? Would love to trade ya for it >> www.ctree.org/solarlist

pretty interesting. there's a huge contingent here in boston & nyc that have really backed this band, and for decent reason. many think that these guys have given new jazz some hope. i think it's interesting music, with alot of good/fun covers. they're experimental, yet not necessarily "way out, dude" kinda experimental.

here's what they played last night here in beantown:

FIRST SHOW

> 1. Let Our Garden Grow (Iverson) – a “world premiere,” according to

> Reid. A rowdy, rollicking number.

> 2. And Now We Test Our Powers of Observation (Anderson)

> 4. Heart of Glass (Blondie)

> 5. 1979 Semifinalist (King)

> 6. Do Your Sums-Die Like A Dog-Play For Home (Iverson)

> 7. Dirty Blonde (Anderson)

> 8. Neptune, The Planet (Anderson)

> 9. Stacks of Cash (Iverson)

>
