The Bad Plus Keeps On Making Their Own Rules

From Soundcheck WNYC Studios

In 2000 the Bad Plus helped usher in the new century with what looked like a 20th century jazz piano trio, with music ranging from groove-based originals to covers of Black Sabbath and Igor Stravinsky. Over the past quarter century they’ve repeatedly surprised listeners. Lately founding members Reid Anderson (bass) & Dave King (drums) with no piano at all have formed a quartet with reedist Chris Speed and guitarist Ben Monder. The Bad Plus’s latest album is called Complex Emotions and they play some of these compositions in-studio.

Set List: 1. Casa Ben 2. French Horns 3. Carrier
