Anderson and King are originally from Minnesota. King is also part of the Minnesota-based groups Halloween, Alaska, Happy Apple, and Love-Cars. Founding member and pianist Ethan Iverson left the group at the beginning of 2018 and was replaced by Orrin Evans. Evans left the group in 2021.
The three original members first played together in 1989, but didn't come together as an established act until 2000. Perhaps to make up for lost time, they proceeded to record their first album, a self-titled effort released on Fresh Sound, after playing only three gigs together. In 2002, after playing a show at the Village Vanguard which was heard by Columbia Records representative Yves Beauvais, the band was signed to Columbia. They released their major label debut, These Are the Vistas, in 2003, and followed it up with Give in 2004 and Suspicious Activity? in 2005. Also in 2005, a live disc - Blunt Object: Live in Tokyo - was released. The band went into the studio again in September 2006 to record Prog, released in May 2007.
The trio's music combines elements of traditional and free jazz with rock and pop influences; These Are the Vistas included a version of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", Blondie's "Heart of Glass" and "Flim" by Aphex Twin. Give contains covers of tunes by the Pixies and Black Sabbath, while Suspicious Activity contains a cover of the theme from Chariots of Fire. Prog contains a cover of Rush's "Tom Sawyer".

I love the piano player's taste & restraint & the bassist's lyricism but how awesome is this drummer
Datanditto
Its called: playing the song.

This drummer has real taste. He is serving the music.
E.W. "SquErl" Tiffin
The tone of the drums is otherworldly 💫
B chops
This band's intention is unbelievable. Wonderful job.
UncookedMoa
Amazing. These guys need more attention. Shame jazz isn't as popular as before.

The best concert I've ever seen was the Bad Plus circa "Prog." Got to talk to them a bit after the show, they were super humble-- a very talented, down to earth group of guys. If you ever get the chance to see them live, DO NOT MISS IT!
molinator
Agreed. I saw them during the same era and ended up buying PROG right after the show. Their live sound is incredible in that it often surpasses their recorded music. Most groups these days do the opposite - they obsess over recording and live shows end up being only a reminder of what the recorded track had achieved through mastering, effects and EQ wizardry. Only one other group I've seen to date has done the same thing - Kronos Quartet. Jazz trio, classical quartet; the things they have in common are sterile focus on instrumentation and writing. It really pays dividends to see either of them play a live gig.

Thanks to the legend Keith Walker for this recording. Piano and bass sound is perfect. What a mix. Hats off mate.
