Music
Mama Jazz, the Vilnius' most famous jazz festival, ended the weekend with the American trio The Bad Plus - Dave King, Reid Anderson, and Orrin Evans. This ensemble combines the simplicity of popular music with snobbish jazz virtuosity. The full harmony of the three instruments (piano, double bass, and percussion) is revealed not only in the experimental and original works of the trio, but also in the remixes of bands such as Radiohead, Nirvana or Tears For Fears. A year and a half ago, the ensemble underwent major changes when a longtime trio pianist was replaced by Orrin Evans. We talk to the new pianist of the Bad Plus about his passion for music, dedication to the ensemble, and daily routine.
