The Bad Plus - where to start?


I heard "The Empire Strikes Backwards" by The Bad Plus on the radio the other day and liked it a lot...but I am not an experienced jazz head, anybody wanna point me to a good album to start with for the Bad Plus?

I'd start with "These Are Vistas". It has 'Flim' and covers of 'Heart of Glass' and 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'.

"Give" and "Suspicious Activity" are also very good.

I would avoid there new release "For All I Care" with the vocalist Wendy Lewis. I consider this more of an ambitious failure...

BTW, definitely try and catch them in concert. I've seen them four times and it's always a great show.
