Dave King Trio
Famed Jazz Drummer Dave King (The Bad Plus, Happy Apple) returns with his acclaimed trio of Bill Carrothers on piano and Billy Peterson on bass.
"They take a noticeably free approach to rhythm, the results are worthwhile." -The New York Times
"Dave brought Billy Peterson and Bill Carrothers together as trio with a goal of recreating the feel of the dark, moody standards of the Bill Evans and Paul Bley trios, as well as recording some favorite ballads." Jazz Police
"Dave Kings most straight-ahead jazz ensemble is probably his trio with fellow Minnesota natives Bill Carrothers on piano and Billy Peterson on bass. Their interplay is luxuriant and atmospheric without sacrificing jazz invention, which is why a song like Ornette Colemans classic Lonely Woman is so clearly in their wheelhouse. (7 and 8:30 p.m. Mon.-Tue., Crooners, Fridley; $20 for both sets, $12 for the late show)" Britt Robson, The Star Tribune
"I've always been attracted to the mystery of things, not just the road map, says Dave King of the Bad Plus, MDs October 2012 cover star. And indeed, King sometimes resists analyzing his own wide-ranging music on a technical level, letting the sounds and the feelings they evoke resonate within each listener in a personal, individual way. But he's always happy to open up about the creative process and the many artists who have inspired him. Here, in this Web-exclusive companion to our print feature, King talks about his musical upbringing and sheds more light on the Bad Plus which, in addition to the drummer, includes bassist Reid Anderson and pianist Ethan Iverson and its new release, Made Possible. (Under his own name, King has also recently put out an album of mostly standards, I've Been Ringing You, with bassist Billy Peterson and pianist Bill Carrothers.)
Anything that can be a challenge or a complex emotion, were at least interested in it, Dave says of the Pluss inclusive mindset, where jazz mingles freely with a host of other concepts, including rock, minimalism, electronica, and twentieth-century classical music. It's always like: Yeah, let's do it." - Modern Drummer
