Jazz trio The Bad Plus has done itself one better by collaborating with vocalist Wendy Lewis on its newest disc, For All I Care — a mix of popular rock and lesser-known classical given the typically unpredictable Bad Plus treatment. The record has received raves from the international jazz press, and local fans gave the quartet a rousing welcome home when their American tour stopped at the Cedar Cultural Center. 3-Minute Egg captured the magic, with in-concert audio courtesy of local taper Dave Kanath. Make sure to check out our unedited EGGcetera of The Bad Plus’ rendition of U2’s “New Year’s Day,” recorded live during the concert at the Cedar.

Got something to say? Go for it!
Excellent piece Matt. Their music is so rich and fresh. I am really impressed with your instincts about who and what will make a good story. Loved the West Bank MFA pieces as well this week. I’ll have to stop by this weekend. I’m now intrigued to see some of this work with my own eye. And there you have — the point – of 3-mintue Egg. Thanks for being everywhere!
