The Bad Plus Farewell Tour

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 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 is set to release their 18th album via Mack Avenue Records on Friday, November

8th. “Evolution is necessary for life and creativity,” say Dave King and Reid Anderson.

“We’ve evolved, but we’re still The Bad Plus.”
