Hear from a seminal force in 21st century jazz — The Bad Plus — in a career-spanning farewell artist talk.

As they bring their remarkable journey to a close, The Bad Plus sit down for an intimate retrospective. For more than two decades, the band have proven themselves to be the ultimate originals, pushing the boundaries of what jazz music could and should be.

In this special conversation, founding members Reid Anderson (bass) and Dave King (drums) will be joined by current bandmates Ben Monder (guitar) and Chris Speed (tenor saxophone) to trace the band’s evolution. Join us as The Bad Plus share the stories behind 26 years of creativity and reflect on what it means to close this chapter.
