When it premiered in Paris in 1913, Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring (Le Sacre du Printemps) incited a riot, mostly for its shocking rewriting of music theory but also for its harsh emotion. It makes sense that the Bad Plus would take on the revolutionary work, which in a way is no more audacious a choice for the groundbreaking trio than their deconstruction of Nirvana's game-changing "Smells Like Teen Spirit...

As Frank Zappa demonstrated via musical quotes on the first two Mothers of Invention albums, there's no more rocking a classical composition than Igor Stravinsky's Rite Of Spring. Pigeonhole- phobic piano trio The Bad Plus faithfully capture the work's throbbing pulsations and melodic raptures on a new Sony release that avoids the improvisational pitfalls of flutist Hubert Laws' 1971 jazz interpretation...

It has got to be a challenge being the Bad Plus. You're not just any jazz piano trio, no sir-eee. You recorded a version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on your first record and got a reputation for taking on cool adaptations. Your drummer was widely criticized for being "too loud", but you were playing rock clubs anyway, so alienating crusty "jazz critics" was maybe a good thing. You recorded a set of rock covers but with an actual female rock singer and it was intriguing, even excellent...

Continue reading below The Bad Plus gained notoriety beginning some 14 years ago as a jazz-piano trio that preferred Pixies and Black Sabbath to standards. They've also produced a strong book of knotty originals (favorite title: "Cheney Piñata"). Now, they take on Igor Stravinsky and his 1913 world-shaker, "The Rite of Spring," which they performed at the ICA last February. It's a tour de force. The work's relentless, odd-accented, propulsive rhythms are a perfect fit for this band...

Those familiar with The Bad Plus know that part of the group's aesthetic is to extend the context and reach of jazz as popular music. Earlier recordings have delivered provocative original compositions alongside standards, modern pop songs and jazz tunes. This album-length performance of Igor Stravinsky's iconic Rite of Spring extends their ouevre with a disciplined twist...

The Bad Plus has taken on many different guises over its career, tapping the songs of Aphex Twin, Ornette Coleman and Black Sabbath along with its own to craft a sound rooted in jazz but most consistent with a genre called the Bad Plus. Now, for the ninth studio recording, the trio of pianist Ethan Iverson, bassist Reid Anderson and drummer Dave King is taking on an orchestra...
