What remains constant is the ensemble’s ability 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 15th studio recording and debut album as a dynamic new quartet on Friday, September 30. “Evolution is necessary for life and creativity,” say Dave King and Reid Anderson. “We’ve evolved, but we’re still The Bad Plus.”
