I've seen him about a dozen times live (Jazz and Rock bands), and I've never once seen him be ANYTHING less than captivating. The Bad Plus often does Jazz interpretations of different styles of music - Flim by Aphex twin, Velouria by The Pixies, Iron Man by Black Sabbath, Heart of Glass by Blondie, Tom Sawyer by Rush, and Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears. The Bad Plus is the most Rock Jazz will ever be. Dave King is EASILY the best, most inventive, and most interesting drummer I've ever seen in my entire life. Period. If you are around when they come by, I'll pay for you (Jared K) to go to a show just to see the look on your face when his chops kick your ass. That's right!
