The Bad Plus are the ultimate originals. A democratic unit with a
clear vision and a refusal to conform to convention. For the past two
decades, they have played with spirit and adventure, made their own
rules and done so with a bold sense of creativity and intent. In 2018
they announced a change of line-up that shook the jazz world, bringing
the astonishing and remarkable pianist Orrin Evans into the group
alongside Reid Anderson and Dave King. The result instigated a new
wave of excitement and anticipation within the band that re-energized
their sound and inspiration. With an abundance of adventure and
spirit, their joy of making music together is clear and paramount its
their driving force and their ultimate purpose.Their first album with
the new lineup, 2018s Never Stop II, won huge critical acclaim
building on the passionate fan base developed over the years. The
release kickstarted a new era for the trio in a way they could not
have foreseen a period of intense creativity, renewed energy and
excitement.
Their October 25th, 2019, Edition Records release, Activate Infinity,
sees the journey evolve further.
