Nick Bollinger reviews a new collaboration between iconoclastic jazz trio The Bad Plus and saxophone virtuoso Joshua Redman.
Jazz trio The Bad Plus are known for their adventurous explorations of unexpected material; try their versions of Black Sabbath’s ‘Iron Man’ or David Bowie’s ‘Life On Mars’. Now, for the first time on disc, they team up with tenor sax virtuoso Joshua Redman for a set of mostly new originals, combining rhythmically and melodically intricate composition with expansive improvisation.
