Making Music: Dave King

A fantastic interview today with drummer Dave King of the acclaimed trio, The Bad Plus (it's a long one, so get comfortable!):



I heard King with the Bad Plus over at Ronnie Scott's in London during the fall of 2009. He plays with a very original identity, sound and vocabulary - all very enjoyable and inspiring to listen to. Here's a few other clips of Dave King in action:





And just a reminder, I'm playing tonight and tomorrow night at the Beatniq Jazz & Social Club in Calgary, AB with Vancouver saxophonist and pianist Ross Taggart:
