IN THE NEWS:
The trio of pianist Ethan Iverson, drummer David King and bassist Reid Anderson is celebrating 10 years of performing together by stepping away from the rock 'n' roll repertoire that generated their initial buzz. Their new album, "Never Stop," is their first collection of all original compositions, many of which made their way into a first-rate show at the Bowery Ballroom on Wednesday (9/15).
Sept. 14 is Super Tuesday for the music industry, the day prior to the fourth quarter that overflows with high-profile releases. So many, in fact, it's possible next week's Nielsen Soundscan Top 10 will have six or seven rookie titles. 
New math or marketing ploy, this is actually " The Bad Plus +1," with the addition of vocalist Wendy Lewis, a longtime friend of the trio and a fixture in the Minneapolis alt-rock scene. "For All I Care" was partially inspired by the 1963 pairing of John Coltrane's quintet with vocalist Johnny Hartmann; as Plus drummer Dave King explains, "Coltrane's quartet had already developed a group language, and then they enlisted this incredible singer without changing the language of the band."
