The Bad Plus @ The Village Vanguard 12/28/11

This is always a winner.  They did some old familiar pieces and some new music from an album they will be recording next month.  It's always a pleasure to watch and listen to each of them.  It was interesting that Reid did the talking this time, introducing the band and announcing the song titles and composer.  Ethan always did it every time I've seen them in the past.  I love how they play something fun while introducing the band members.  That was a little different and still fun with Reid doing the talking.
