best trio ever!!

[fancygreenanorak]

unnecessary fact: I sang this in a recital in college. I told Reid at a gig and he gave me a face like "child, you did what?" - good times, haha.

[tigerhop]

These guys kill it!!!!!!

[shoehornchester]

I think the 4 people that didn't like this didn't get what they were looking for when they searched 'dirty blonde'.

[maidoodesu]

nice !  です.

[MutilatedLips]

Reid Anderson is an amazing composer!

[almostarecord]

yes to this drama and intensity!

[rastapaul23]

I love the Para-diddle variations on the piano...AMAZING!!

[Canale8]

I <3 YOU!

[amcint01]

Saw them @ University of Michigan. Dave King is the single most entertaining drummer who has ever sat behind a set.

[maximxygo]

@amcint01 I would whole-heartedly agree with this. I just saw them at St. Cicilia in Grand Rapids, and the entire joint had their eyes stuck on him.

[amcint01]

Nothing like 'em. Usually nothing scares people away from a band faster than a drummer who approaches the instrument melodically, but they make it all so accessible.

[mistrdevine]

seeing them live was unlike any other concert i've ever attended, and i've been to many. i do wish they'd played this tune though

[ajg942]

conscious musicians... beautiful

[scootd3900]

when im feeling down i just watch dave king play drums

[5igna5]

i love it

bad plus and polar bear are my favourite jazz bands today...

[lk4790]

This is some fresh and interesting new jazz. I was getting tired of jazz until i found this band: Great!

[superjay42]

Reid Anderson makes me so happy.

[sgravn]

Far and away the best writer in the group.

[Hippodill]

Fantastic!

[murthax]

absolutely awesome. love the improv stuff , that IS jazz.

[OpenCadence78]

I wish I had the bassist's fingers...

...man, that sounded sketchy!

[pawn44xx]

great!!!!!!!!

[cleanbeats007]

Saw them play this last night at the Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis. It was their last show of their annual end-of-the-year Minneapolis run, and as usual they tore the place up.

[sanghvi2000]

frikkin awesome... never heard of them b4, partially because i never thought jazz was good, but they're awesome if this is jazz...i love it

[danielayalamusica]

beautiful!

great song

[theultrasounds]

I read paradiddles and thought, "Huh? You mean Dave?" But yeah, Ethan really stretched on that one! Great rendition of the tune, which was one of my favorites to begin with.

[bewaremyguitar]

I find this provocative in more ways than one.

P.S. Haha @ Ethan's paradiddles at 3.15.

[Yeknom0913]

When I saw them live in Minneapolis they played this tune. Iverson said "now we are going to play a tune called dirty blonde...the hair color"

[superjay42]

Oh wow, great find! This tune is one of my favorites off "Give." I admire the compositions of all three musicians, but Reid's tunes speak to me the most, and this one is near the top of that list. Beautiful song, great video here - thanks so very much for posting!

[GangstaSpices]

this band is so underrated. best progressive jazz trio alive

[monkeywithsticks]

@GangstaSpices

nah, Avishai Cohen Trio ftw

[TheeNils]

these guys have awful stage presance...

lmao.

no one caes about the guys,

only what their making.

:P

[jazz4lifebaby]

jeez that piano solo was "out" man. my guitar teacher one told me that if he could harmonically offend someone by the end of the night, it was a good gig. i think that applies here. great stuff.

[Yeknom0913]

You think that was out? Check out Happy Apple, its a band that Dave King plays in with Mike Lewis and Erik Fratzke. They do some crazy stuff.

[altair0990]

That's what I love so much about The Bad Plus and Happy Apple. You either get it or you don't. I will admit that sometimes you really have to be ready for something way out there though.

[MattLeGroulx]

wow, thanks so much for posting these, they look and sound great. it's fun to compare this recording with the video i posted of the same song from several years earlier.

[sunshinegirl3488]

I'm so glad I discovered these guys! amazing!

[mateenj42]

yesssssssssss, DIRTY BLONDE, my favorite bad plus tune, NICE.

[daedalx]

same.. followed very closely by "frog and toad"

[acaseofsamnesia]

yes yes yessss

haha and my first favorite was frog and toad. i heard it coming from a dorm room down the hallway and was sold.

[willyager]

one of mine too

[Yeknom0913]

Giant takes the cake for me.

[wogandmush]

YES! I love this song. Thanks for the upload!

[haileydog]
