Nobody else sounds like the Bad Plus, still, and the Bad Plus sounds like nobody else.

—New York Times

The Bad Plus are the ultimate originals—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 have won critical acclaim and a legion of fans worldwide with their unique sound and flair for live performance.

Now in their 21st year, the Bad Plus continue 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 that is re-energizing the band’s 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.
