($35-$45 | 4:30pm & 6:30pm shows) The Century Room is very excited to present legendary jazz group The Bad Plus!
The Bad Plus are a band known for their originality, creative vision, and refusal to conform. Over the past two decades, they have carved out a unique space in music, gaining critical acclaim and a global following for their adventurous spirit and rule-breaking approach. Known for their lively performances and genre-defying sound, the band has continuously pushed musical boundaries.
The group's core members, Reid Anderson (bass) and Dave King (drums), are now leading the band into a new era without a pianist, teaming up with guitarist Ben Monder and tenor saxophonist Chris Speed. This change has brought a fresh sense of excitement and energy to their music, re-invigorating their sound and inspiring new creative possibilities. The Bad Plus remains dedicated to exploring a wide range of genres and techniques, always searching for ways to challenge and complement each other musically.
Their 18th album, "Complex Emotions" to be released via Mack Avenue Records on November 8th, reflects this ongoing evolution. As the band members themselves put it, "Evolution is necessary for life and creativity. We’ve evolved, but we’re still The Bad Plus."
