Performer Information

The Bad Plus is a jazz group from Minneapolis formed in 2000, known for blending avant-jazz with rock, pop, and classical influences. They quickly stood out for unconventional arrangements and bold reinterpretations that sparked new conversations around contemporary jazz. Their rise included inventive originals alongside covers that reimagined familiar songs through a modern jazz lens.

Their 2001 debut, The Bad Plus, introduced the trio’s sound, and These Are the Vistas (2003) earned critical attention for its mix of originals and covers. Subsequent releases like Give (2004), Suspicious Activity? (2005), Prog (2007), For All I Care (2008), and Never Stop (2010) solidified their reputation, leading to steady touring across U.S. and European clubs, theaters, and the international jazz festival circuit (Montreux, Newport, North Sea). Today, they draw 73,300 monthly listeners on Spotify.

Since 2022, The Bad Plus has performed as a quartet, with founding members Reid Anderson (bass) and Dave King (drums) joined by Chris Speed (tenor saxophone) and Ben Monder (guitar). Their shows showcase energetic improvisation, spontaneous setlists, and unexpected covers—perfect for fans who love modern jazz with a fearless edge.
