THE BAD PLUS PLAY ORNETTE COLEMAN'S 'SCIENCE FICTION' Duke Performances has once again engaged the forward-leaning jazz trio The Bad Plus to make a daring evening-length project. In 2011, Duke Performances commissioned The Bad Plus' "On Sacred Ground," a bold new interpretation of Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring." The intrepid trio "about as badass as highbrow gets" (Rolling Stone) now turns its sights to jazz saxophonist and composer Ornette Coleman's landmark 1972 recording "Science Fiction" following its 40th anniversary. "Overflowing with brilliance"• (AllMusic), Coleman's "Science Fiction" is distinguished by its inventive combination of melodic beauty and avant-garde openness. The Bad Plus pay homage by boldly interpreting Science Fiction song-for-song, front-to-back, with help from an esteemed horn section of fine improvisers.
