Reid Anderson plays bass for the very interesting group Bad Plus. He has at least three albums as leader that I have been fond of for some time: Abolish Bad Architecture, Dirty Show Tunes, and The Vastness of Space. Right now I am playing 'Granada' from the first on that list. Here is the lineup:
- Ethan Iverson (piano)
- Reid Anderson (bass)
- Mark Turner (tenor sax) and
- Jeff Ballard (drums)
Iverson and Turner are the best known of the group. Iverson sports a very unique style and has a number of excellent recordings of his own. Turner is a fine tenor with a classical touch. The cut is simply marvelous.
I am also playing 'Imagination is Important' from Dirty Show Tunes. Jordi Rossy replaces Ballard on drums.
These three albums are a nice collection for your collection. All, I think, are available from eMusic.
