...band since the mid-70s. Dylan produced the three albums that followed on his own (credited as “Jack Frost”) but he’s maintained the standard that Lanois set, framing his wry, enigmatic lyrics with an organic, energized sound anchored by longtime collaborator, bassist Tony Garnier.But on “Together Through Life,” production easily outpaces songwriting, as Dylan’s ambition and lyrical wit fade palpably into monotony.

...more accurate description, if you really wanted to get pompous, is that we do music of novelty.” The band, which incorporates various techniques and multiple genres into its musical selection, transcends the classification of being simply a jazz group. Comprised of King, bassist Reid Anderson, and pianist Ethan Iverson, The Bad Plus will be performing at the Berklee Performance Center this evening as a part of a national tour promoting their most recent album, “For All I Care.”The group exudes an energy that truly attests to the trio?...
