Bad to the Bone

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
The jazz group called The Bad Plus has cultivated a bad-boy image, bringing rock songs by Nirvana, Blonde, and Black Sabbath into the traditional jazz club. Today, members of the group discuss some of their eclectic influences - which range from Samuel Barger to Jelly Roll Morton to Radiohead - and offer a live performance. Also on the show: new wave legend Lene Lovich. She'll share music from her new album, "Shadows and Dust" and talk about the glory days of the '80s new wave.
