artist info
The Bad Plus are the ultimate originals, celebrating 25 years. A democratic unit with a clear vision and a refusal to conform to convention. For the past two decades they have played with spirit and adventure, made their own rules and done so with a bold sense of creativity and intent. Avoiding easy categorization, The Bad Plus has won critical acclaim and a legion of fans worldwide with their unique sound and flair for live performance.
The Bad Plus continues to push boundaries as founding members Reid Anderson (bass) and Dave King (drums) embark on a new piano-less incarnation of the band with Ben Monder (guitar) and Chris Speed (tenor saxophone) – instigating a new wave of excitement and anticipation within the band that is re-energizing their sound and inspiration. The Bad Plus have constantly searched to bridge genres and techniques while exploring the infinite possibilities of exceptional musicians working in perfect sync.
The Bad Plus has been a band for 26 years. As they enter into year 27 - after a great deal of soul searching and consideration - they have decided to bring this chapter to a close. 2026 will be the final year of The Bad Plus. They share this news with heavy hearts, but also with great pride in what they have accomplished. They look forward to performing their final shows throughout the coming year. “This band changed our lives. Thank you all for being a part of that.” - TBP
