Restul e Tacere The Rest is Silence (2007) [repost]

Presumably the Bad Plus wanted to make a very specific statement when they titled this album Prog. Although there is no confusing its music for what has typically passed for progressive jazz or progressive rock in decades past, Prog embodies the true meaning of the word: it takes music forward - not just theirs, but music itself. How they do that is relatively simple, despite the music's complexity: they go where they want to go, where others have yet even to consider going. That means throwing out conventional notions of what a jazz piano trio can and should do. That the Bad Plus is comprised of three exemplary musicians - pianist Ethan Iverson, bassist Reid Anderson and drummer David King - is never in doubt.

Three CD set featuring 'tribute' albums from Dread Zeppelin and Great White plus a collection of Industrial cover versions. Unlike many of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal's true legends, Led Zeppelin have always appealed to a wider range of music listeners. Their musical output has been embraced by everyone from hippies to Hip Hopsters and has influenced more musicians than any Rock band since the Beatles. This Tribute album features a wide array of artists who owe a debt of thanks and credit to Jimmy, Robert, John and Bonzo. Includes music from Dread Zeppelin, Great White, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Electric Light Church, Spahn Ranch, Sheep on Drugs and KMFDM amongst others.
