BACK TO EVENTS

For the past two decades The Bad Plus have played with spirit and adventure, made their own rules and done so with a bold sense of creativity and intent. Avoiding easy categorization, They‘ve won critical acclaim and a legion of fans worldwide with their unique sound and flair for live performance.

The Bad Plus are the ultimate originals; a democratic unit with a clear vision and a refusal to conform to convention. Now in their 21st year, they continue to push boundaries, as founding members Reid Anderson on bass and Dave King on drums embark on a new piano-less incarnation of the band with Ben Monder on guitar and Chris Speed on 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 released their 16th studio recording, Complex Emotions, via Mack Avenue in November 2024.

This programming/project is supported in part by Creative West and the National Endowment for the Arts.
