The Bad Plus
The Bad Plus get a lot of mileage out of their introduction of new songs into what is traditionally regarded as Jazz standards, like Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Blondie's "Heart of Glass". These are indeed great, but for me, their meditative 'Everywhere You Turn' is the highlight of the CD. It's circular melodic line, repetitive beat and airy piano are almost as evocative as John Cage and Philip Glass pieces. But the sound is Jazz and the rhythm is Jazz… |

can't wait to hear this!
i just went to see the bad plus play at arturo something or other's jazz club in miami. everywhere you turn has been my all time favorite song since i heard it about a year ago. i heard dave lean over to reid, my hero and say, lets end this set with everywhere you turn, then some other song. After i heard him whisper everywhere you turn, i pooped my pants with excitement. they performed it AMAZING it was the best night ever. everyone should have to hear this song in the world.
