I was at the Duke show, and agree it was perhaps the most amazing performance ever. I'd LOVE to find a video of it online. I snapped one photo before they ever got on stage and security shut me down, as well.
Thanks for posting; I'd been looking for a copy of the Duke performance of this (I believe their first performance of it?) and even while incomplete this is incredible.
This is truly amazing, if you have ever looked at the sheet music for this beast you have to appreciate how incredible it is that three musicians are able to capture the complexities of this piece.
Astonishing. This level of virtuosity and musical innovation is rarely seen or heard. Amazing performance even for The Bad Plus, and that is one hell of a high standard.
this is 100% awesome

Thank you so much for posting this. Truly amazing musicianship! I reckon Stravinsky would have appreciated this interpretation.

@BrettWaye You are being too kind. They probably have a Justin Bieber bot implanted in their brains.

Cannot wait for the studio release, or a UK tour.
