I was invited by Robert Ward to see this band called The Bad Plus live. It was... pretty cool. They were all super talented, but the craziest by far was the drummer <3. I'm not very into eclectic discordant jazz music but it was still a good experience to have, and there were several songs I actually really enjoyed. I like their covers more than ( Read more... )
