The Bad Plus - Give

The sophomore album shows how this "jazz" trio (in essence, not so much in the popular term) has grown together and established a signature sound, a large credit goes to Tchad Blake (producer and engineer). In my opinion, by the time Give came out, The Bad Plus had already established themselves as the "revitalizors" of the jazz world, always sending a clear message of what they want to do with music; with covers of Ornette Coleman's "Street Woman", The Pixies' "Velouria", and Black Sabbath's "Iron Man".
