As I sit here at 11:50pm on a Tuesday night, typing this from my office at Rock Father HQ, I look outside at the falling snow and can only wish for Spring. Knowing that it’s coming, it’s pleasant news to hear that THE BAD PLUS will release their version of Igor Stravinsky’s THE RITE OF SPRING, performed as only THE BAD PLUS can – as an ambitious piano/bass/drums trio. Personally, I can’t wait to hear what they do with it. Check out the cover art and tracklisting below…
