Bold, restless, and endlessly inventive, The Bad Plus continues to redefine what a modern jazz ensemble can be. For more than two decades, the band has made its own rules—earning critical acclaim and a devoted global following with a sound that defies categorization and live performances fueled by risk, immediacy, and imagination.

Now fully realized as a boundary-defying, piano-less quartet, founding members Reid Anderson (bass) and Dave King (drums) are joined by guitarist Ben Monder and saxophonist Chris Speed. Four singular voices converge into one unmistakable sound, opening expansive new creative territory while deepening the band’s core identity.
