The Bad Plus Farewell Tour

For more than two decades, The Bad Plus have proven themselves to be the ultimate originals, “pushing the boundaries of what jazz music could and should be” ( Bass Magazine). A democratic unit with a clear vision and a refusal to conform to convention, they have consistently made their own rules with a bold sense of creativity and intent. Avoiding easy categorisation, The Bad Plus have won critical acclaim and a legion of fans worldwide through their distinctive sound and thrilling live performances. Their now-legendary 2003 LP, These Are the Vistas , was named one of the 50 Most Important Recordings of the Decade by NPR’s All Songs Considered . In recent years, The Bad Plus have reinvented themselves in a way few could have anticipated, evolving into a boundary defying quartet. Founding members Reid Anderson (bass) and Dave King (drums) are joined by Ben Monder (guitar) and Chris Speed (tenor saxophone), presenting a new incarnation of the band while maintaining its vital and unmistakable identity. Catch them live for the final time as they celebrate 26 years of excellence. Personnel Reid Anderson - bass David King - drums Ben Monder - guitar Chris Speed - tenor saxophone, clarinet
